21st Century Cathode Boy

The world's a stage; the streets will flow with stageblood

My understudy is phoning it in in an

Asbestos bathrobe in the fire and brimstone

raining down like the wrath of the cathode ray

 

I took placebo and you are control group

We both had side effects none the less

You were fantastic, now you're getting real

Like a rabbit of velveteen

And it begs the question...

Why?

 

Complain too often in this incarnation

And you'll return as a maggot

Why not just be a smiling Buddha, baby?

Get it over and done with this time around

Save yourself some hassles down the line

 

Ukuluna

You walk around with your head in the clouds and it's

Always sinisterly overcast

Here's a forcast you can trust, you're gonna weep until you noserings rust

You take the brightest good news and give it to me in a way that's bad

Worst I've ever had

But I like you anyway

 

You're the uneasy calm before

Thunderclouds, an electrical storm

The only forecast I can trust, I'm gonna weep until my steel heart rusts

You take the brightest sunshine and wrap it up in clouds so black

Never to come back

But I like you anyway

 

You walk around with your head in the clouds and it's

Always sinisterly overcast

Here's a forcast you can trust, you're gonna weep until your noserings rust

You take the brightest sunshine and wrap it up in clouds so black

Never to come back

But I like you anyway

 

Unmoved

You don't even turn to look one last time before you go

And I just watch you leave

The scene unfolds like it should feel just like epic cinema

I swear I feel like I'm not really here

I'll remain unmoved by what you may or may not think of me

At least this deadwood's holding up the tree

 

A sapling's green marrow sustains it glistening injuries

The deadwood's brittle bones break

 

The insolence of my belated youth just shrugs off

The disdain that you all too clearly show

Sisyphus was overheard to opine that after all this time

At least this rock's the devil that I know

 

A sapling's green marrow sustains it glistening injuries

The deadwood's brittle bones break
