lyrics

Now at the end of the dinner
It’s when the truth spills down
It is some kind of ruthless revelation from the inside
A morbid psychic bullet
All the actual colors of the emotional landscape
Through your belly button


And when you purr away in dreamland
I can almost touch your thoughts
The lapels of our life together
Spread open, as it is


I will guess all details of the many accidents to come
Null margin of error
The world is multifarious but can’t hide its basic laws
Bleak and plain iterations


What you sow is what you reap
My robust conviction
I’ll give you fortune cookies
Straightforward predictions
You’ll ask “How could you know?”


I became accustomed
To enduring illusions
Everything can be portrayed
With simple descriptions
In spite of my stupidity
In light of my sensitivity


Either at the start or in the end
It’s transparent where the story goes
I’ve learned we all are helpless
In tidying this fearful mess


One time or just another
I wish I could be harshly disavowed
Dismantling preset theories
and self-fulfilling prophecies.


Heading for a sensory brothel
Looking for a regulation model
Strolling in deep dissociation
Hell of prognostications


Now at the end of the winter
Eventually we fall from grace
It is some sort of magic intuition underlying
A baleful voice deprived of sound
Place a bet on how all our new redemption plans
Will be razed to the ground


And when you talk of dreamlands
I am almost moved to tears
‘Cause every dream will turn to nightmare
And it’s clear you don’t realize


Feeling laughed at, even hours before the people's grins
spread across their faces
Feeling altered, even when the ropeway seems to be
slipping smoothly downhill


Useless to hear, needless to say
No casualties will save their life
In the wake of vulgarity
In the kingdom of enthropy


But one time or just another
I’d like to be left speechless
By the ever-losers’ triumph
By the gravity’s defeat
