Roadkill

Did I see our star collapsing

Or was it my imagination?

We've been crushed and we've been broken

Still we stand

The land is flat and full of corpses

We fuck our sisters to stop the bleeding

Another careless copulation

Another gaping mouth to feed

It's no wonder we all break beneath the weight of our regret

Like Chinese water torture it goes drip, drip, drip, drip

The best thing about the past is that it's already gone

So you don't have to nail yourself to someone else's cross

We don't kill to cure the boredom

We like our vengeance to be painless

So we just sit and watch the roadkill take it

Time and time again

This backward life is just existence

We always hoped people would forget

But like the stink and my erection

These things never go away

It takes strength to stand this straight beneath the weight of our regret

Like Chinese water torture it goes drip, drip, drip, drip

The best thing about the past is that it's already gone

So you don't have to nail yourself to someone else's cross

Anymore

We love you so much

it should make us puke

But we don't eat

'cause we're too cool

And when the cupboards

are all empty

And the table

is bare

And the hands

that rocked the cradle

rule the world

And we've been wiped out

We eat roadkill.
