Vice Grips Lyrics

A faster food, a slower death

Additives subtract until the souls bereft

Left to hunt and gather where it's mass produced

Convenience requires that we have to loose

Choose lust just pretend its love

The idea alone, is a deadly drug

Choose one religion dismiss the rest

Repeat cycle, sin, repent, then confess

Wi-fi connects us to a world shrunk

Pulls us further apart, snap, curl up

Shut the door scramble communion

Simulate a life, from the room you live

Views and ticks hits and trends

In the land of the smartphone living dead

Crave likes and mentions a vain acceptance

Gratified by a crazed faceless assemblage

The chasm surrounds us

Mimics our calling

A tandem of cowards

Willing to fall in

The chasm has found us

And it has found us wanting

Ship sinks

I drown

Chains, links

Wrapped 'round

Ship sinks

I drown

Bewitched

Dumbfound

The light shines the wheels spins

Need the roll of a dice just to feel things

Buying anything to fill an empty void

Rent attention with intentions of expensive noise

Poised, in a fashion curd

Vacant logos brand us to the cattle herd

Here's your value worth, a wearied pot

Sound the soirée, Reaper in your earshot

Best years lost, forever hate your age

Yearn the surgeon's knife, desecrate your face

It's a rat race, no finish line

Pace is trivial, keep within the lines

Go against design become binary code

Ones and Ohs stuck in lines and rows

Until we're devoid, obsoleted

Enslaved to ploys of our choice achievement

The chasm surrounds us

Mimics our calling

A tandem of cowards

Willing to fall in

The chasm has found us

And it has found us wanting

Ship sinks

I drown

Chains, links

Wrapped 'round

Ship sinks

I drown

Bewitched

Dumbfound

Liquor rush anything to live it up

Relinquish inhibitions of this British blush

Riddled drunk, comfortable in this slump

Life is easier when you don't give a

Popping party drugs, give the liver rest

Dancing on your grave while you dig that trench

Inhale a little death exhale a bitter stress

Cigarette smoke silhouettes a bigger mess

Inward breathe

In those weeds a jest, mischief and fret

Prescription pills to take away your ills

Tethered to that heal to test your will

Under pressure chill float in opiates

So when life is real you'll never notice it

Open wrists sick of that gruelling numb

Cut until you feel that the rule of thumb

The chasm surrounds us

Mimics our calling

A tandem of cowards

Willing to fall in

The chasm has found us

And it has found us wanting

Ship sinks

I drown

Chains, links

Wrapped 'round

Ship sinks

I drown

Bewitched

Dumbfound
