Scripturally Transmitted Disease Lyrics
I've never been a pillar of society;
Quiet the opposite in fact.
A plyer of insults;
A place marker on the path of least resistance;
Nothing more.
A face in a crowd, but a crowd behind Bedlam's bars.
Providing a barbed laugh for the wealthy;
A grinning, dry target for their rigidity.
Happily stuck in the throats of an angry mob stretched beyond repair by production line proclivity.
I am as steadfast refusal.
I've shown no interest and I've reaped little that I've sewn.
A world of cloned mechanists has left me unwaveringly organic;
Perhaps food for thought or just food for the worms.
I stand as a final insult to the easily offended;
All words out of turn to kindle their burning world.
If for one moment I thought I felt a twinge of guilt,
I would put it down to angry muscles shifting their weight against all the irrelevance.
I will stand as grave marker in resolute denial of the state of your two thousand years of treading water;
So dig a good deep hole for Abraham and all his insipid godlets.
Whatever name it goes by, it's all the same crumpled at the grave-side.
Abrahamic iterations all divide by zero.
Cartoon Lucifer presiding.
I lost my shadow amongst the marionettes;
Soul chord measured found wanting.
Probably too long, frayed and / or split to dance with the more standard corpses in this world of shit.
I sold my spirit;
Might even have quaffed it blind without realising.
Any port in a storm, they say.
Oh, so they say.
Heart removed as part of some half-arsed morning ritual, piss-begotten solitude sold out at the drop of a gaping fish-mouthed hat.
Filed away amongst the other stolen myths;
The lore of these folks is nought but a long string of syphilitic spit.
Scripturally transmitted disease, if you will.
In fact, no - I insist.
So make a monolith of me, but plant me facing sunset;
Back turned to the broken day.
Leave me here watching the darkness.
I have no time of day.
I have no time for day.
Don't come looking for me.
I'm long lost, seeking out Odin.
Odin under ice.
I've danced away, died away;
Don't come looking for me.
Long lost, seeking out Odin.
Odin under ice.
Quiet the opposite in fact.
A plyer of insults;
A place marker on the path of least resistance;
Nothing more.
A face in a crowd, but a crowd behind Bedlam's bars.
Providing a barbed laugh for the wealthy;
A grinning, dry target for their rigidity.
I am as steadfast refusal.
I've shown no interest and I've reaped little that I've sewn.
A world of cloned mechanists has left me unwaveringly organic;
Perhaps food for thought or just food for the worms.
I stand as a final insult to the easily offended;
All words out of turn to kindle their burning world.
If for one moment I thought I felt a twinge of guilt,
I would put it down to angry muscles shifting their weight against all the irrelevance.
I will stand as grave marker in resolute denial of the state of your two thousand years of treading water;
Whatever name it goes by, it's all the same crumpled at the grave-side.
Abrahamic iterations all divide by zero.

I have no time for day.
Don't come looking for me.
I'm long lost, seeking out Odin.
Odin under ice.
Don't come looking for me.
Long lost, seeking out Odin.
Odin under ice.
