lyrics

I am here, in your mind
I determine everything you've ever done
planning your life
the mutter of the hungry lambs
false profit spits into your dirty hands
soak it in, these drinking fountains full of youth
what they're selling you

holy water by the bottle
nineteen ninety nine, just fine
do you really want to oversee this?
burning buildings, lights that torch the sky
heaven was a lie

I am fear, in your eyes
I hear every single thought and every cry
counting your time
in this residential motherland
this presidential circumstance
if you feel like you are rowing in a boat
watch where you float

wake up, this has no tendency to end
this is the sound the city makes
this is the shuffling of violence, spread your fingers wider
violence in silent movies
line up, and beg imaginary men
to help you clear your puzzled heads
what happens when the choir strangles
each and everybody
who sings then? I'm screaming!

watchtower, he's a watch tower
and he'll shoot me down, he'll kill us all
if we disobey, there's no thinking straight
with an open mind you'll meet the gates of hell
light this match, won't you feel your soul, don't you know
it's poison, the leaves are poison to me
