The Bug - At War with Time lyrics

Beware the bottomless pits, the highest highs The concrete jungle, the golden lies Dangers of endless widening thighs And the seductiveness of s**ed-up eyes The danger of being kissed or kissed off The threat of being blessed or being cast off Fear triggers an apocalypse of the mind At war with the body, at war with time Finding hope in ugly emotion Unattainable curves and runaway destinations Life is the most vivid of illusions Yet we find beauty in the least expected locations Behind hallucinatory billboards of d**h-riddled dreams Flexible cards and disposable schemes Endlessly falling for the prison of a smile The only answer is taking d**h down the aisle So f** or be f**ed, screw or be screwed Heaven is burning and Hell is returning This globe is boiling whilst our blood is freezing For every blinding smile of a newborn child The heart tries to warp, crawls, then dies A lonely figure floats through negative space Forever reaching out for a beautiful face Blinded by the blur of white light yearning A fool sees all but is never truly learning One touch in the right place makes everything worthwhile But in these end times, only running's in style The daily spectacle scripted by fact Gods of endless greed Cheating on the one you love And loving only the parasite that feeds Torn between suicide and genocide Marriage and matricide Led like a dog on a lead Begging for the touch we all crave and need Time seems endless when you've nothing to give The void seems s**y when you've nothing to live Place your faith in a final sound A sound of escape loud and profound A sonic avalanche or the crushing stillness of silence A loss of self, a loss of balance We are all just trying to function From the chaos of total malfunction Beauty is everywhere but the price is so high Angels and devils behind all of our eyes
