Did I not show you a way out?
Beneath the veil you saw my vision wrapped in doubt
You’re not my son and not my muse
As you remind me, though I never thought this through

Vices squeeze us till we’re blue, me and you
That’s of no concern to me
That don’t cause me misery
It’s time, time’s what I can’t control, same as you
Fear of going back to find
All the nothingness we left behind

Superstition is a hoax
Though we both cannot seem to practice what we know
Stepping over every crack
Waiting for sweet life to break our bloodied backs

Vices squeeze us till we’re blue, me and you
That’s of no concern to me
That don’t cause me misery
It’s time, time’s what I can’t control, same as you
Fear of going back to find
All the nothingness we left behind

Did I not show you a way out?
Beneath the veil you saw my vision wrapped in doubt
You’re not my son and not my muse
As you remind me, though I never thought this through

Vices squeeze us till we’re blue, me and you
That’s of no concern to me
That don’t cause me misery
It’s time, time’s what I can’t control, same as you
Fear of going back to find
All the nothingness we left behind

Let’s not show our faces till the end
Till our dreaming slows, till nothing’s left
When we meet the orgasm of death
