Wormwood Toxicity

from Shriekofafreak! by Cannonball Statman

lyrics

On the Q train
Sees his reflection in a stranger's eyes seared by the sun
He goes back into the ocean again
This time the blade is in the palm of his hands

Looking for a wounded traveler
Or just anything he can murder
Remember when he was a boy on land
Before he became that genetically modified man

The dirt goes in
And the mud comes out
And we live
Until we die

Sometimes I move
And I don’t know why
And I'm drowning
In front of your eyes

If you give yourself
Do it
Then you won't be worth a shit
And don’t you run away from it
You will die in a cold nacht
With that parasite

In New York City it never rains
But the sky opens up and leaks liquid stains
Evaporated from an alien fire in the sky
And if you wanna live
You'll probably die

But there's more to this story
Like there's more to the ocean
Like don't even ask me to explain where I come from
I'm gonna take off my shoes
Tear out all my teeth throw 'em back into the witch's brew
The mud comes out

Give yourself
Do it
Then you won’t be worth a shit
And don’t you run away from it
You will die in a cold nacht
With that parasite

Merman and marmaid at the Chinatown arcade
With don't touch that dial smiles and hard lemonade
Convincing the oysters they mean the world
To unstoppable stomachs that can’t stop raving

The world is your oyster
But so am I
And I just wanna open your eyes
I just wanna make you lose your mind
I just wanna live
I'll probably die
The mud comes out
And we live
Until we die

Sometimes I move
And I don't know why
And I'm drowning
In front of your eyes

If you give yourself
Do it
Then you won’t be worth a shit
And don't you run away from it
You will die in a cold nacht
With that parasite
