Feed Me to the Forest

Lyrics

These hot machine years burning time across your face See the smoke stacks rising up like 'fuck you' towers? My girlfriend sang like a hummingbird today Until that cough stole her voice and fed it to the furnace A shrew laugh, a trench throat There's a party on the 16th floor and This apartment's paper thin walls I know my neighbors sob by heart A tight coil, a cold grin Highways wrapped around my body like a snake Got a view of a cement lawn Amputated horizons Thanks for the survival rags Thanks for the soiled skies Thanks for the fucked up future We can learn to love our misery Thanks for the survival rags Thanks for the soiled skies Thanks for the fucked up future We can learn to love our misery Was it just last night That I woke up to a snarling baby? Did I hear it right? He begged his mother, "Feed me to the forest!" The factory is singing us to sleepless beds tonight Lungs like twin garbage sacks, sucking charcoal breath tonight A sick squeal, a dull moan Looks like the neighbors found another victim Screams, "Help!" but no one comes Honey, won't you turn the TV on? A brown summer, a stench wind The globe spinning on a rusty hinge Get in your car, go to your job Like a train that's being robbed
