Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh yeah

You insult me in my home, you're forgiven this time
Things go well, your eyes dilate, you shake, and "I'm high"
Look in my eyes deep and watch the clouds change with time
Twenty hours won't print my picture milk carton size
Carton size
Carton size
Carton size

Call me up congratulations ain't the real why
There's no pressure besides brilliance let's say by day nine
Endless corporate ignorance lets me control time
By the way, by the way, by the way, by the way

Once again you see an in
Discolored skin gives you away
So afraid you'd kindly gurgle
Out a date for me

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh yeah

Now the body of one soul I adore wants to die
You have always told me you'd not live past twenty-five
I say stay long enough to repay all who cause strife

Once again you see an in
Discolored skin gives you away
So afraid you'd kindly gurgle
Out a date for me
Once again you see an in
Discolored skin gives you away
So afraid you'd kindly gurgle
Out a date for me

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh

I bear true and an existing witness
To this barrel of monkeys
A self-proclaimed immoral success
Perfected by each whereof
Individually deadly, and equally so
And spread about the surrendered troops
For even thousands of miles
Will not tear apart their communication
Or the lack thereof
Vultures, liars, thieves
Each proclaim their innocence
In no suggestion or rhyme
Your weapon is contained
In the wrecking of the keeping the desired effect
The breaking of the spirit thwarts the whole being
Your weapon is guilt
Your weapon is guilt
Your weapon is guilt
Guilt

    Sliznut, I think you got it pretty much spot on. I interpret the song much the same, but with one exception. I think the song as a whole is about his cynicism towards the production label. However, I don't think that he's using the milk carton reference to say that folks won't look for him when he's dead or because they will already know the cause. I think he's saying that other people are just used to him being reclusive for long periods of time (or straight missing practice or recording sessions). So if he is "missing" for a period of say, 20 hrs or so, he wouldn't actually be "missed". i.e., no one would print his face on a milk carton.

    To PopNFresh07: Demri died of endocarditis, not overdose. Also, she died in 1996. The selftitled album was released in 1995.
