Cover art for Grinding Process lyrics by Melvins

These are the lyrics as best I can tell:

One thing to shred and tear Glass meat never stares Feed me karmic lies Of those less fortunate Must exterminate Left me haunting you Win my lottery

Fingers needled black A cross around her neck She chokes her dying brain ANd blows it in my face Stick your lucky sticks To my more waiting flesh No one's rumors now For my last kiss to taste For my last kiss to taste

Cry my lonely last number But I'm waiting to see How very long I can keep up the pace


I think it's about being in love with a severely self-destructive person. However, the narrator, who is worried about it, recognizes that he is a hypocrit because he is also self-destructive to one extent or another. Finally, at the end, he realizes he can do nothing about the situation, even though it is doomed; he has to ride it out the end.
