lyrics

Solitary old mill buildings scare me
Standing above the trees in the ravine- or is it me?

I don't want to judge the bones that stir-
Are they glaring at me while I gaze back at them?

A fine tooth comb through the waterbed tells me it isn't in my head
But it belongs there.
It belongs in an institution to gather education about nothing and gather webs...

I realize I'm supposed to be a lie to live among;
Short of response I'll hear it once and forget.
Hey wrecking ball at the side of the wall-
Deus ex Machina.

I don't want to pop the pill that becomes me
Where do I go when they take off?
Do I follow you through to the doorway to outside?
Or do I wait and gather webs...

A fine tooth comb through the waterbed tells me it isn't in my head but it belongs there:
It belongs in an institution to gather education about nothing and gather webs...

I realize I'm supposed to be a lie to live among
Short of response I'll say it once and forget.
Hey wrecking ball at the side of the wall-
Deus ex machine.

Deus ex machina.
