"Feed Me To The Forest" lyrics

"Feed Me To The Forest"

These hot machine years burning time across your face
See the smoke stacks rising up like fuck you towers?
My girlfriend sang like a hummingbird today
Until that cough stole her voice and fed it to the furnace

Shrew laugh, trench throat...
There's a party on the 16th floor
This apartments paper thin walls...
You know your neighbors sobs by heart
Tight coil, cold grin...
Highways wrapped around my body like a snake
Got a view of a cement lawn, amputated horizons

Thanks for the survival rags
Thanks for the soiled skies
Thanks for the fucked up future
We can learn to love misery

Was it just last night
That I woke up to a snarling baby?
Did I hear it right?
He begged his mother, Feed me to the forest!

The factory is singing us to sleepless beds tonight
Lungs like twin garbage sacks sucking charcoal breath tonight

Sick squeal, dull moan...
Looks like your neighbors found another victim
Screams Help but no one comes
Honey won't you turn the TV on?
Brown summer, stench wind...
The globe spinning on a rusty hinge
Get in your car go to your job
Like a train that's being robbed
