lyrics

Life is a broken shell
And I'm the yolk laying mashed inside.
Stomach turning and burning
Always awaiting the shining light.

But Lord knows that this cruel world
Has nothing left for me.
A broken civilization that lays naked
By the sea.

Watch as my face disappears
Through rigid clouds of tumbling smoke.
Lean in for a kiss and find out
That you're the running joke.

But Lord knows that this cruel world
Has nothing left for me.
A broken civilization that lays naked
By the sea.

The king is the ruler
But the pawn is left out of this simple equation
Laying his head for some sleep
He ponders the impregnable question
