Pile

Lyrics

Your Performance

Looking for footing while doing its best impression of

Being human meanwhile up on hind legs at the podium

Meanwhile

That neon cartoon tries to explain its presence in an unclear and roundabout way

And starts to itch

And starts to itch

"Grifting is encouraged"

Campaigning, shaking hands, kissing babies and some cloaked pandering

"I don't eat mine"

They are of you all and you are the ones that they need

And they fall for it

Beaten down by a sleight of hand

But it has no taste

Provides no sustenance

It still ends up at the table

With my lone offering

My lone offering
