Hopeless

by DELAPEZA

1.
A Virus
lyrics
sit back and watch as i engrave your mind a voice that raises from the toys on screens that flicker for the blind a virus infiltrates the noise open your hand join the race we race to win advertise our place we pass our friends memorize their faces select their names God knows where the chase ends life's a game I'm losing life's a game I'm refusing
2.
The Amputee
lyrics
they want to change you, it’s violation they will betray you, it's humiliating they will enslave you, it’s the new contagion they will deprave you, it’s mutilation they will distract you with mind sedation they will control you with medication they want to turn you into a mutation they have strong tranquilizers for amputation they told you they’d help you with your surgery you needed a transplant for your kidney they sold you the new one, said they’d install it too and left you there bleeding and feelin’ real blue
3.
Who Wins the Human Race?
lyrics
we are all standing in line at the inoculation clinic waiting for permission to die and trying to pass the time so we want to be deceived we cope by needing to believe in ghosts and in mystical leaders we shed our wings and give them to thieves the human race is connected it’s a sliding fucking spectrum from senators to coke whores blowing them while we elect them we decided to be led, now we decide to lead look into our future, look away from greed the body forms a hand that seizes the reins and pardons it's master before it is freed
4.
Go Inside
lyrics
we’re naked beneath our bodies and we’re all the same our souls are all identical, given imaginary names strip back the stories we have lived, open an infant’s mind a universal eye looks back, innocent and kind please enter and select your character, you’re inside a game your body and your place of birth and your family and your name spying on the people who are trapped inside the screen forget you’re not awake and you’re trapped inside a dream am I the one watching or in control? am I the audience or the actor? am I the body or the soul? am I cells or the sleeping black? burn yourself alive, see the afterlife in the ambulance chew on sacred plants and peer behind the veil we’re on the screen of the computer, now let’s go inside leave the apparatus of cells in the material jail attached to the power grid atoms are born in the power returns at the end of the game when you lose the crumbling body you’ve worn look inside yourself to see how we are the same
5.
Your Coffin
lyrics
did you know that the body serves the mind? a coffin under eighty years leave the prison far behind bathed in grey water covering my eyes hair twisting at the top bubbles no longer rise one woman let go in the shower a killer behind the curtain her blood ran out like a fountain another one’s final hour they’re all fleeting bodies caving in on souls desperate to let go but tired of playing God
6.
Look at How
lyrics
look at how we convulse how we throw our bodies down in shame look at how we converse how we tell each other our titles and names look at how we believe ourselves writhing under agony or joy look at how we relieve ourselves then clean ourselves off and start again look at how we smile as we throw our bodies into the river look at how we cry as we drown in the cold and in our denial look at how we laugh as we throw up our insides and chatter and shiver look at how we crash as we fall to the bottom and shatter and splinter
7.
God
lyrics
on top of an Aztec temple stands a man fucking a woman high on plants under the stars he cuts her head off as he cums her head falls into a volcano surrounded by families with children the woman, a willing victim a sacred honor among local natives I’m God’s pet I’m America’s pet I’m my parent’s pet but it’s home now I’m no one’s pet not the radio’s pet not the T.V.’s pet just my own not the pastor’s pet the police man’s pet I answer to no one I’m alone find your way back to me the seeds have been sown I'm bleeding badly from where I've grown
