Scissorlips -

Where are you?

I’m lost upon this boulevard

And I’m afraid this plastic mask

Made room enough for all of us

Now Scissorlips has come to grips

While chewing paper fingertips

That boulevards made boulevards

Of boulevards in endless strips

Sing your lullaby

Sing, sing, sing…

I want to hear it from your lips

What’s it worth shining for?

Never mind your thirst

Never mind the curses you utter vacantly

I can hear them scream from below

I still hear them screaming below

All we are is all we are

Transcendental animals

Where are you?

I’m high above this boulevard

I left behind this passive mask

To prove to us it’s not enough

Now Scissorlips throws scissorfits

Till bleeding’s what the kissing gets

To fork the tongues of old and young

Forever speaking opposites

And…

Sing your lullaby

Sing, sing, sing…

I want to hear it from your lips

What’s it worth shining for?

Never mind your thirst

Never mind the curses you utter vacantly

I can hear them scream from below

I still hear them screaming below

All we are is all we are

Transcendental animals

All we are is all we are

Transcendental animals!

Trying to dig up the love — you call this love?

For the love of loss, we find

For the love of joy, we cry

For the love of growth, we sever

For the love of now, we never

For the love of peace, we kill

For the love of wealth, we steal

For the love of difference, confine

For the love of unity, divide

For the love of love, we hate

Who wouldn’t want to disappear?

But I’m still here, I am still here

Having come out the other side wearing horrors that climb from our soul

And I am still here, I am still here

Falling face-down into the light, wholly naked I cling to these roots

And I am still here, I am still here
