Watch the Aspidistra Fly Lyrics

I have come to realize

There ain't nothing in this town that can't be bought

If not with money and illusions

Then with some kind of dirty rotten wrought

Walking to the anthem but did I ever stop

To look and breathe and smell

Keep me like my shoulders

Keep my head above the water in the well

Just hang around the offices

They surely know what time it is all the time

If you ask me bloody cousin

Well to me that don't seem like it's worth a dime

Don't just throw the towel in

Throw down the accordion and all the brass

Just don't throw in your oxygen

Potassium magnesium and eyes

Breathing in your coffin

While an LED screen dreams you off to sleep

Walking around in circles over molehills

With two back to front feet

Brother I was seeing to my self-destruction

With a perseverance unto an unholy fault

Try to teach myself that waterfalls

Do not waterfall

Planets giant mandible will rear

And cannibal itself alive

The loss of one little insect would turn out to be

Our complete demise

But I'd crush you like a bug

Just to dream that one day this world will be mine

Thinking for a second that I'd be thinking of ever

Leaving you behind

Well that kind of thinking

Slowly takes your heart and soul

And it quickly takes your mind

If you go a looking for what you're searching

But you don't seem to find

Well I can only say to you

You did not look hard enough

As it takes to look for what you got inside

Lord

Let it rain your breath

O Lord

Let it rain your breath

People find all kinds of reasons

To be cheating and disbelieving for cheap thrills

Some things people be doing

Man it really truly gives me chills

To be thinking and feeling all the days

You just wish you could go and spill

To be feeling it enough to go out in the world

And want to go and kill

Giving kids delusions that their hands

And feet and blood is all they got

Well I'm here right now to tell you

Here's the message friend

It is not

Are they paying any attention

All the information's blanked out anyway

But they'll soon be out here searching

So be watching just exactly what you say

Hold onto your world but one day very soon

This world will be mine

Don't be thinking for a second that I'd

Ever be leaving anyone behind

Aliens can watch us while the animals are

Feeding us their time

If you ask me sister I can say

I don't think that's worth a dime

Lord

Let it rain your breath

O Lord

Let it rain your breath
