Mercy Cage The Reflecting Skin
Living in summerland forever
You were the first, the last and the always 'til you
left me underground
There's dignity in this repression
There's purity in somewhere that leads anywhere but
down
Just take the pill
It'll make you clever
It'll make you brighter
It'll make you safe
Just choke it down now
We can all join hands and smile and be the same
Just take the pill
It'll make you happy
It'll make you sane
Just take the pill
It'll make you better
It'll make you stale...
I could suffocate
You could smother me with love...
Call this conditional release
Justify it any way you can
I let you complicate me, my old and vanished friend
These rites of suffrage are like swallowing razorblades
again
The blank and errant masses swarm, my old and vanished
friend
The architecture of convention crashes down
I never, ever wanted you to say
'You give me absolution
You make me whole...'
