Total Wife - Mt. Yellow Lyrics

When faces under flesh burst through
They trace patterns left by others
My subdermal parasites kiss
The cheeks of new lovers

Follow the template to be numb until
Cogs in my brain have rusted
Pills and my fathers whisky to
Leave the teeth plaque-encrusted

Suddenly I'm on the back porch
Surrounded by a mandala of cigarettes
The soothed hungover mornings
Crickets chirp, time to catch our breath

Sometimes I still lust after
This medicated complacency, I wanna
Spring up from the Earth and
Travel space aimlessly

Sometimes I still lust after
This medicated complacency, I wanna
Spring up from the Earth and
Travel space aimlessly
