lyrics

Oh nonplussed and full of lust Western Humanist
Saw such civil means get you such bloody ends
Saw Beauty, Truth, and the Good
where the animals stood singing meaningless songs they made up for their forlorn friends

Our faith brought us here
Our love brought us here
Our art brought us here
It’s honesty that brought us here

Put your head on my shoulder I’ll tell you when it’s over I know I’m getting colder but I’m trying to stay sober

You could have lived by the pen
Or by the diagram
By just staying thin and by suffering caresses
Trampled rights after fights
under fluorescent lights
A fait accompli
Just to complete your bitterness

No more say you’ll undo these things
You’ve made these claims before
What is more you quite enjoy the pain: you prefer to endure.

And what is it for, what are they for, all of the pretty things, the clever things you make and sing just to ignore?

Let me know when you’ve had enough.
Let me know when you’ve had enough of this progress.
