Open Face Surgery Lyrics
ever since I recognized the first eavesdropper: those who listen in on my thoughts, my logic, my sanityI cannot let them know I don't knowthe verses, or converse in my head: lash out at future foes,banter with friends I've not yet met The psychoaggressive minions ofyour lord mock with laugher I can't hear, with hidden scowls they admonish me Nothing's sacred, Nothing's safe: your filthy god is omnipresent,this undying nonentity that hauntsmy every waking dreamThey watch me, his mortal flock, they know me now by sight alone: my thoughts are too well concealed... Yet I sense more scrutinyFleeting lucidity's too loud for me, let me be my silent self:our existences irreconciledMake them stop! I'm rotting fast...The answer, painful though it may be, is changeAlter my outer shell...The listener's may not, then, know it's meOpen Face Surgery: short of painand long on masqueradeOunce by ounce, lose a little weightnip here, tuck there... So who needs eyelids?
