Do you see it?
Hanging in the air around you
Swirling, swaying
Leaving traces of sickness
Can you feel it?
Clawing at your very soul
Breaking, gnawing
Unavoidable Thanatos
Corrupting knowledge
Debilitating pathos
Wearing me thin
Taking its toll
Breaking my will
And leaving me breathless
Ignoring the obvious
Deliberant madness
You shatter my senses
I can't understand this
Your song is a requiem
And when you look around
The faces you see
Are mirroring the trash you're spewing
Contorted and repulsed
The fact remains
You're nothing but a sad old tabloid
So when you finally open your eyes
I really hope you do
Snap out of the trance you're in
Hope you go back to who you are
Oh, please remember
Just for a moment, for just a split second
The person you really, truly, wished you'd be
And when you look around
The faces you see
Are mirroring the trash you're spewing
Contorted and repulsed
The fact remains
You're nothing but a sad old tabloid
