"A Song" from the Driveby Profanities

From vanities that scream of the inconsistent
to the fear in your sweat
I'm engraving enemies
into flesh

Vanities lie
Honesty dies
there's just this song
Euthanasia's overdose
prescribed madness
from crib to coffin
there's just this song

We are all too kind and clever
too kind
to subdue the lies
we gotta lie

Too perfect
to cause no harm
to be a suicide
without a bomb.

Unto perfection
we exercise our charm

Vanities lie
Honesty dies
there's just this song
Euthanasia's overdose
prescribed madness
from crib to coffin
there's just this song


All around
in this life
people are dying
We avert our eyes
There can be no crying
every chance and pleasure
merely symptomatic of dying
we march along
in the fear of sweat
no matter how long the time-line
is it worth the trying?
