Motionless

Curse the day that you were born

Curse the god above for the sheer technicalities

That will keep us apart

(We will stay separated)

Everything you say’s been said before

By someone just like you and me

It’s a comfort can’t you see

Acting out your desperate solution

Because no one understands

(How could they ever understand?)

Once upon a time when you were strong

And you could see it clearly

(Now everything you once believed is gone)

Why does it all seem motionless?

A parody of what we could have had

I’m sick and tired of explanations

(Still blinded)

Find yourself another brick

To act out your delusions

Your fashion statement make-believe

Won’t change a god damned thing at all

Ain’t you got a better place?

Somewhere where you could be who you truly are?

Do you think anybody cares?

(Anybody at all?)

And if so would it matter?

If you lost just a little bit

Of this superficial claim to fame…

Resting on a slab cast on

The shaky graves of those who came before you

(Oh! So hollow)

Your name becomes a trademark

Set solutions for the things you never knew

(What do we ever know?)

Why does it all seem motionless?

A parody of what we could have had

I’m sick and tired of explanations

(Still blinded)

Find yourself another brick

To act out your delusions

Ten years from now you’ll wonder why

No-one was there to stop you…

You’ve got his eye

Are you ready for the next one?

It is appropriate exercise

And the correct way to ruin

What trust we may have had

As if you’re remote controlled

As if you run automatic

I… clay

Mould me into something new

(So) that I can finally be of use

Why does it all seem motionless?

A parody of what we could have had

I’m sick and tired of explanations

(Still blinded)

Find yourself another brick

To act out your delusions

Ten years from now you’ll wonder why

No-one was there to stop you…
