lyrics

012-Out of the Mould

When we murdered those kids in the forest near the factories
It was not about orders, it was mainly from acknowledging
The rhetorical gifts of our leaders and their policies,
That reduce us to bits. Take a minute to defragment me.

Have you carved this yourself or was it programmed in your breakfast pill?
Did you write that last night or was it whispered to you in the wind?
Were your holidays yours or the ones of a collective dream?
I remember the day when I thought that we were plasticine

Out of the cot you were not as loved as me
Out of the vault settle for nothing free
There was a man who reminded us all just how to breathe
Without feeling inclined to apologise for natural needs

You knew what it was to be loved so you posted it on to social media.
You knew what had to be done so you crawled up to the doorless chamber
You wore your fingers to the bone so you blamed it on the Crown and State
There wasn’t much to be done, after all of us had asked for keys

When the exits are jammed and the air vents are just printed sheets
If you want to get out, pick an option
In the laboratory, play along, be a sponge
Gain their trust and one day you’ll be free.
Pull the plug, take a plunge, walk on ashes
Red as children’s meat, red as children’s meat.

In the ages of will there was someone who looked just like me
One of us shared, I have the feeling I was not complete
The other one said
In the wilderness there’s all I need
On the side of the road
Did we not agree to disagree?

Have you been hexed as the needle gouges the vinyl? Catch a glimpse of Mamoru Nagano’s Five Star Stories, the bitter-sweet world of Twin Peaks, or even the airbrushed afterlife of H.R.Giger.

Forgive the elegant flaws of youth, like yunomi high-fired pottery, and dissect the records slowly maturing like Hibiki whisky.
We were not here. ... more
