lyrics
My best friend
He hears god
Screaming like
Molten dust
Burning ears
Who to trust
Mortal coil
shuffle off
Tend to dead words
Retrace the cuts
Of sorbitol blistered
Smokestack black moths
Jealousy spreads
Like Abattoir blood
And I can’t get it off
And I can’t get it off
Mayday
Mayday
None of these dials read right
Mayday
Mayday
Caught in the headlights
Set the lock
On the vault
Deny it
Was my fault
Complicit
In each theft
Pardon slid
‘Cross the desk
Deep in the soil
A menagerie of
Unholy Gargoyles
Running out the clock
Scratching around
In reservoir mud
And we can’t get enough
No, I can’t get enough
Mayday
Mayday
None of these dials read right
Mayday
Mayday
Caught in the headlights
Gather your keepsakes
Hold dear your time
A spoonful of snake oil
Will settle your mind
Feed on the starving
Then give them the rind
Show me where I sign
Show me where I sign
Mayday
Mayday
None of these dials read right
Mayday
Mayday
Caught in the headlights
