Pick Apart

Job's face down God picks him apart yeah yeah

Sickness unto death and then Columbine

Sigmund never understood forgiveness

Is that why we're addicted to cigarettes

Stocks down and you pick it apart yeah yeah

Stockholm in the early 70's

Friction is the drudgery of change

Fiction bending down on its two knees

Deep wound and you pick it apart yeah yeah

One bomb predicated the voting booth

Old dynasties rolling loaded dice

Doc calls it amnesiastic truth

Landmass keeps picking apart yeah yeah

En masse we keep picking apart yeah yeah bad faith calcifies inside the bone

Levelled out on the methadone

Stirring as I contemplate the senselessness of my existence

Ingredients for tortured callous thoughts

Carefully I pull the ladle from the pot and leave it out

I want the broth to burn and dry up

Pick apart

Pick

The forgery of providence

This controlled depiction

Of basic belongingness

Left or right

Yeah the needle and its magnetism

Shot for shot

Rig it up to quell the inner schism

Pick apart , pick apart

Pick apart , pick apart

Pick apart the Fugazi of romance

Pick apart our near and truthful death

Pick apart the comet from which we came

Pick apart the life that rests inside the picture frame

Pick apart foreign casualties of war

Pick apart that foreign package at your door

Pick apart the seduction of tragedy

Pick apart the foundation of all creeds

Pick apart (all) your morals and your codes

Pick apart until your vision corrodes
