Son et Lumiere Inertiatic Lyrics

    Clipside of the pinkeye flight

    I'm not the percent you think survives
    I need sanctuary in the pages of the book
    Gestating with all the other rats
    Nurse said that my skin will need a graft
    I am of pockmarked shapes
    The vermin you need to loathe

    Now I'm lost!
    Now I'm lost!
    Now I'm lost!
    Now I'm lost!

    Last night I heard lepers
    Flinch like birth defects
    Its musk was fecal in origin
    As the words dribbled off of it's chin
    It said, "I'm lost..."
    I'm lost...
    Now I'm lost!
    Now I'm lost!


    Now I'm lost!
    Now I'm lost!
    Now I'm lost!
    Now I'm lost!

    Dolls wreck the minced meat of pupils
    Cast in oblong arms length
    The hooks have been picking their scabs
    Where wolves hide in the company of men
    It said, "I'm lost..."
    I'm lost...

    Now I'm lost!
    Now I'm lost!
    Now I'm lost!
    Now I'm lost!
    Now I'm lost!
    Now I'm lost!

    Are you peaking in the red?
    Perforated at the neck

    What of this mongrel architect?
    A broken arm of sewers set
    Past, present and future tense
    Clipside of the pinkeye fountain
    What of this mongrel architect?
    A broken arm of sewers set
    Past, present and future tense
    Clipside of the pinkeye fountain

    Now I'm lost!
    Now I'm lost!
    Now I'm lost!
    Now I'm lost!

    It's been said
    Long time ago
    You'll be the first and last to know
    You'll never know
    You'll never know
    You'll never know
    You'll never know
