7% of Nothing

Lucy Tonic

Light keeps the darkness at bay

Darkness keeps the atoms in sway

Memories faked as much as faith

Raw neurons on a birthday cake

Wet leaves stuck to white car hoods

Look just like bullet-holes would

Sketch me, photos make broken shelves

Till leaping lamb of hope kills itself

Come together and taste some death

You'll be like Seth or burn like meth

Googly-eyed with brains all fried

Notes the secret satellite

Reality shifts under your feet

As your door breaks down, here comes the heat

Pink fish visions and scaly birds

Robots prophesize unsaid words

Indians paid with camera lenses

While the moon loses all her menses

Americans watching cartoon life

As their hands turn clay and rust is rife

Yeah, we all got our own dead twin

Tastes like cinnamon vitamins

You fucking dumb deadly lifeless fools

Reject anything until it's cool

Light keeps the atoms in sway

Darkness keeps the shadows at bay
