The Purist's Drug
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.
If murder is the purist's drug
And the needle is the new black
Take your steps carefully
Slip into the grey
The learning is still incompleted
No pressure
only lessons
Serve you still
Who do you follow
In a world so hollow?
The last of the flesh has been picked away
And we decay
Tell me something pure
Tell me the truth
In fractured future dreams
I am the used
If murder is the purist's drug
And the needle is the new black
Take your steps carefully
Slip into the grey
The learning is still incompleted
No pressure
only lessons
Serve you still
Who have you wasted
With your mistaste
And your velvet tongue
Who have you disgraced
And erased
With your lies
Tell me something pure
Tell me the truth
In fractured future dreams
I am the bruised
If murder is the purist's drug
And the needle is the new black
Take your steps carefully
Turn into the grey
The learning is still incompleted
No pressure
only lessons
Shall serve you still
Where is there sorrow
Within tomorrow
That never dies
Tell me something pure
Tell me the truth
In fractured future dreams
I am the used
If murder is the purist's drug
And the needle is the new black
Take your steps carefully
Slip into the grey
The learning is still incompleted
No pressure
only lessons
Shall serve you still
