How to Build a Pessimistic Lie Detector
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
cracking skulls, tearing flesh.
have another heart attack.
send 'em in, send 'em in,
why don't you try pushing all the goddamn buttons.
maybe just one of them will suffice.
go back to the golf course.
if the shoe fits, fuck it.
confidence minimally confirmed,
the more unsuspecting conclusions occur.
self model shoe-switching correlation may be dyslexic.
folded and removed, all signs of any research.
2 + 2 not equal to 4,
hours and hours of frequency tampering.
not to mention variables,
reconstructing codes of silence.
when flies ate men,
the procrastinating never started.
