The Company We Keep

Distort the mind

By their design

Won't be denied of our daily bread.

Communal pride

Recycled life

This sheds new light or will we wake up dead?

I'm your addict

Next in line

Would you mind?

A staple to the coarse

Erased your head.

Wind you down

And stamped you out

You played the fool but who would stop you now?

Graced by shame

Preordained.

Imperative

No time to live

Replace the skin

Does it weird you out?

The new regime

Planted the seed

Would you believe?

Would you believe it?

Graced by shame

Preordained

To find that day in the sun

With cyanide or a loaded gun

Graced by shame.

(It's been written)

Your life came before you.

To find that day in the sun

With cyanide or a loaded gun

Graced by shame.

I'm your addict.
