Electrify

Album: Hello Nasty (1998)

  • Words comin' forth like water from the tap
    Clap tracks line the spaces places papers people stack
    Back track through the minutes when the thoughts went insane
    I pulled the picture off the cover and blew out the mind games
    People say this is the play list of the void non-bound
    But I can say this is the plainness of the peace I've found
    It's not the sorrow or the pity that we hope to dismantle
    It's the cast of past dice lighting both ends of the candles
    Scandelescent in the means I have dreamed on the schemes
    Reunited in the times of such picturesque scenes
    Can I get a witness to testify?
    Open your eyes, realize, electrify

    So I plan and I scam and write it off on my taxes
    It's times like these I'll just go with the decisions of the masses
    And to the crowds who've come before with their profit massing ways
    To the greed that fucked it up and brought it down to today
    With pain I stand sane and remain holding strong
    Whilst all around me those who clowned me are now drowning by the throngs
    It's illogical the actions that are typically displayed
    A set back ain't all that much problem to invade
    So I will glow like a lantern on a new moon night
    I'll fight violence with these hands that weren't built to fight
    But like a furnace burning coal my goals are bound to burn in flames
    Whether achieved or dismantled by the agendas displayed
    Can I get a witness to testify?
