Mario, Mikey & Me Lyrics

Our lives have become strange places of fiction

and we all wear masks only held in place

by the friction

between

the people we have become

and the child-like fabrics

we have undone

to comfort us

to strengthen me

For vengeance – against who or what?

Vengeance because it’s all we’ve got.

We’ve spent so much time lost in fiction

with violence, our only diction

Mikey, Mario & me.

When we were children, we slept

in luxurious quilts

but we were never wrapped in comfort, just guilt

framed by our fathers’ portrait – we’d have to rip it

and our mothers’ tapestry – we’d have to unstitch it

in the slim hope of starting clean again

Clean without vengeance – but against who or what?

Vengeance because it’s all we’ve got.

We’ve spent so much time lost in fiction

with violence, our only diction

Mikey, Mario & me.

Erasure, comes so naturally

Undoing, well that’s harder for me.

Cry vengeance – against who or what?

Vengeance because it’s all we’ve got.

We’ve spent so much time lost in fiction

with violence, our only diction

Mikey, Mario & me.

Cry vengeance – against who or what?

Vengeance because it’s all we’ve got.

We’ve spent so much time lost in fiction

with violence, our only diction

Mikey, Mario & me.

With violence, our family addiction:

Mario, Mikey & me
