Lyrics
Erase (Rub/Out)
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.
Wrapped the meaning in barbed wire again
This subtle black pornography
The horror of the word thru her eyes
She is my new god
New credo
She is the doctrine made new
She is...
Hollowed out by the scene implanted
And she is becoming
Oh she has become
Something rotten in vegas
Danse the danse obscene
Borrows out through the hole
She is the end of things
Melissa flashes the postcard perfect smile
Porn star predatory
She is the wire made real
Pretty young dead things
Debased/removed
Welcome to the big hurt
A permanent stain
The spectacle of
Ruined tv starlets fucking on camera
Never further away
So much further away
Oh you are not your body
You never were
Embrace the strange
Rub out the word
The word
The world
Oh set the nothingness free
Nails back a new form of ignition
Spark it up, strike it back, opens the vein
Trip the shutter
Til it all falls down
Trip the shutter
Til nothing pure remains...
