If i can't feel (on a given day) the way i wanted to,
The temptation hits, my grip it could slip, i could give it up
But if i can't feel (on a given day) the way i wanted to,
I won't cheapen myself, i won't be patronized by lethargy

And it would be nice to answer questions with a capsule,
But i don't deem myself that simple minded
And it would be nice to untie knots with single gestures,
But i keep on drawing blood
And it would be nice to think oblivion was a challenge i
Nstead of an excuse

You built yourself a socio-cultural trap,
Launched an attack on your subconscious ruby ridge
If you get what you want you can't play hamlet to the balcony

And it would be nice to answer questions with a capsule,
But i don't deem myself that simple minded
And it would be nice to untie knots with single gestures,
But i keep on drawing blood

The ultimate expression of commercialism
The wholesale commodification of sensation
The ultimate rejection of asceticism
The doors of perception kicked in
The ultimate conception to considerism
A fierce passion subsumed and corrupted
The ultimate perplexion of ethicalism
As you imbibe the denial of choice
The ultimate conception
Of ??????
The ultimate repression
Of ethicalism
If i can see straight i can't lie

Let's put an end to this falsehood,
To the conception that this is different
Misunderstood and misconstrued,
Alternative only in vocabulary
You leave the office on a friday,
Swap one glazed expression for another,
For 48 hours in elaborate gilded costumes
At the masquerade warehouse
