Head Of Medusa
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.
In that final look
Does the deer forgive the wolf?
You've stolen my fascination
You've smothered my holy addiction
And now I'm soaked in you
Like fat white worms and sad haikus
I woke up and the world was on fire
I woke up and the swine had conspired
To erase all the faith
That I have human race
I woke up and the world was on fire
It's all in your head
It's all in your head
They said I need to flee
Are they shepherds?
Or are they sheep?
Are we the butchers?
Or are we meat?
In this nest of lies
Living a life under siege
We sink in the stink
And need my disease
It's all in your head
They said I need to flee
This never ending
Ordinary monarchy
Beneath the toxic water
Where my secrets come to meet
In catacombs of shadow
& wet skies of mystery
I found a soggy savior
A painted lady made of eyes
She sings to me, of my deceit
Your life is a lie
I woke up and the world was on fire
I woke up and the swine had conspired
To erase all the faith
That I have human race
I woke up and the world was on fire
It's all in your head
It's all in your head
They said I need to flee
Are they shepherds?
Or are they sheep?
Are we the butchers?
Or are we meat?
In this nest of lies
Living a life under siege
We sink in the stink
And need my disease
It's all in your head
They said I need to flee
This never ending
Ordinary monarchy
If we stand too still
They're gonna eat us alive
Watch your tongue
Teach then young
Medicate the mutiny
Better living through chemistry
Self-destruction's patriotic
Money fixes everything
Watch your tongue
Teach then young
We're taught
To love and hate
To fight and obey
I've lost my mind
But I've found my way
(In this nest of lies
Every wall has eyes)
It's all in your head
It's all in your head
They said I need to flee
Are they shepherds?
Or are they sheep?
Are we the butchers?
Or are we meat?
In this nest of lies
Living a life under siege
We sink in the stink
And need my disease
It's all in your head
They said I need to flee
This never ending
Ordinary monarchy
