Before the Ice Age

Lyrics

It's like something walking around When I know I'm all alone All the lies I've told coming back to taunt Shapeless ghosts coil writhe and creep Frozen with a fear that will never learn to speak Sweat turns to ice on my face I age a thousand years (Before the ice age) Sweat turns to ice on my face I age a thousand years (Before the ice age) I'm falling through the cracks in the floor Is it slime or blood that oozes from my skin Trapped and suffocated by my sins and infections Slow motion catastrophe melting worms crawl out of my eyes My surplus value stolen by a Victorian vampire Sucking out my cold cold heart My walls of my self are crashing Quietly in the transistor dark Slimy fingers on the glass touch scream (Before the ice age) (Before the ice age) My data stripped and whipped And sold in chains by officious machines All the harvested organs grow legs And run like rats in a swarm In a cold cellar with peeling walls the light bulb swings As the torturer begins to sing and chant Asteroids are falling in the empty acid dark Asteroids are falling (Before the ice age) (Before the ice age) Vomiting up frozen bile, the tide of fear Draws back long enough to see the beach In between the blows of The policeman's truncheon cold blue and long I go back to sleep, I go back to sleep
