Leper Friend Lyrics

Pretty faces, pretty hip
Bodies hang to drain and drip
So submit and let's pretend
You're not a hollow charlatan

Velcro whores they fill the streets
Infecting everyone they meet
The hourglass is karma's curse
Each grain of sand's a universe

Laser beams and cattle prods
Sacrifices for the gods
Divinities orgasmic hymns
Will fuck you with prosthetic limbs

Ulcerations form, they know
Soon will lose fingers and toes
Swollen ends, bloody gauze
Curse us all

I've watched you suffer
For so long it seems
Somehow I look the other way

I've watched you fall apart
Like my leper friend
Somehow I look the other way

An outcast deprived of festal joy
Prostration, it seems is here to stay

My limbless friend will die alone
A torso of flesh upon the throne

My limbless friend will die alone
A torso of flesh upon

The cure for clinical depression is a lobotomy
The cure for clinical depression is a lobotomy

My limbless friend will die alone
A torso of flesh upon the throne

I've watched you fall apart
Like my leper friend
Somehow I look the other way

I've watched you suffer
For so long it seems
Somehow I look the other way

Leper, leper friend
Leper, leper friend
Leper, leper friend

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is great and totally freaky! I love the crcus organ but what it's about? Your guess is as good as mine! It's probably all metaphorical and he doesn't really have a friend who is a leper...at least I hope not! :confused:

It's about how all his friends seem to "fall apart" over lifes small problems. And all he can do is watch...

Its pretty obvious that this song is about someone suffering throughout his/her life and 'falling apart' and is depressed. well, its partially about that, and partially about being an outsider, being a social reject and an individual.

The 'falling apart' metaphors are pretty easy to spot, but hyte outsider ones are there too, "outcast deprived of festal joy". the hollow charlatans and velcro whores are probably reffering to those fukking popular bastards that treat people like me like shit cos we're not the same as them, and when he says "the cure...a lobotomy" i bet he's talking about how those asshole don't think. maybe he's saying theyre the ones making the 'leper' guy depressed
