Moving Shadows on Still Objects

Tumor bloom

Tumor grew

Tumor who

Rumors flew

Tumor removed

Tumor who

We still can't figure out what is wrong with you

And you can't raise your hand in a test tube

Bloated yellow belly on hands of blue

Investigate through shaky fingers, how dare you

It's only our job to watch you

Watch you fade away, cry at your funeral

An through sobs of joy, claim we were there for you

Are you still with Us?

Are you still with Us?

Well here's another object we can put a piece of your soul in

Chock full of nothing at the bottom of the ocean

-----

Well, I only stuck around to hear the details from your mouth

Perhaps to share some with you, but you never asked, you assumed

Just like I did when he told me he did it with a smug, smug grin

Just like I did when I returned to my body with plastic near every inch

Guilty by the first, but I swear I wasn't there for the rest

Take a dose by ten, wash it down with tainted gin, let's see how well you land

I wanna see how well your body lands

And all this I've gathered through a hell made up of your eyes

Didn't have the luxury of tape to ease my long-gone mind

There were some things to repress, long before this

I've pried open every vault, to find this wasn't one of them

No, this wasn't one of them

And your spies, my friends, were your spies

Who are you this time

And my friends, were your spies

So I divulged the icing with a glazed smile

Yeah I divulged nothing, but I tried

I tried

Closing my eyes I see your future objects

An one day you'll be under the curtain

Yes, one day you'll be under the curtain

Observed, abducted, catatonic, fried

This world hates absolution

When I'm gone

Maybe a ghost can jog my memory

That was too much for you to do

Tumor bloom

Tumor grew

Rumors flew

Tumor removed

Tumor who?

Tumor who?
