lyrics

Bundy Ted said to Ed here we go A-Gein, time to clean the guillotine of chunks but save me the spleen. Cuz I'm keen on them soft parts, dark hearts like Pounds and Larkin sat around sparking, pen after pen visions in their eyes of burning women and men. Set it all to ruin, don't ask me what the fuck am i doing. Cuz I don't even feel human anymore.

But I am NOT a machine, but being who is built of the idea I couldn't be. I got some screws loose but I keep the bolts locked that's the nail on the head a chip off the old block. You say the vision sadistic don't be so pessimistic listen to the specimen with many different mechanisms. Its like the body is ready for war when the head is missing. Don't let the message miss you go to take another listen.

What you hear what you hear what you're hearing here is but a being trying to be when the end is near. It's all over and I just want to be free, all I really want to be is me. All I really want to be is me, all I really want to be is me, but a being just a being but a being just a being but a being just a being like me.

I don't want to be anything but me(x4)

Its not facade or a god complex, or an odd concept to get when there's no one left to connect. Now watch the mirror reflect and dissect any part of you made in the image of somebody else.

Its all stealth when I strangle a doppelganger with a metal hanger I told you it's what I'm all about. Ripping the bots down to the wire, so I'm coming with some scissors and some needle nose pliers.

So shame on us! Shame on us to have a fucking brain on us, because if it ain't got it's in the fucking pain I trust, but even then it ain't enough so what's left but to put paint on rust.

To put paint on rust wipe the dust and scrape the crust off cadavers. Floating in gray matter, trying to find something that matters beyond this repetition beyond this repetition beyond...

What you hear what you hear what you're hearing here is but a being trying to be when the end is near. It's all over and I just want to be free, all I really want to be is me. All I really want to be is me, all I really want to be is me, but a being just a being but a being just a being but a being just a being like me.

I don't want to be anything but me(x4)
