Dark, meandering discovery guided by hypnotic guitar melody delicately builds to psychotic breakdown and salvation release; Radiohead meets Pink Floyd
lyrics
you prescribed the wrong medication
for this specific situation
your cure is such heavy sedation
now we fight our phantom afflictions
through prescriptions with side effects
beyond your initial predictions
Why do we listen?
CHORUS:
sell us a dream
tell us what to wish for
now that god is a four letter word
and hope is the code name for war
tell us what to wish for
all around the mulberry bush the surgeons came to play
all around the mulberry bush the surgeons cut away
you inhaled the wrong medicine
to forget this type of sin
your poor form of self correction
not to mention that your plastic injections
fit to sooth your self-righteous infections
with a blatant disregard
for prosthetic rejection
CHORUS (x2)
Don’t you see?
They tell you what to wish for.
