lirik lagu the narcissist cookbook – a castle of rats
so there’s this castle of rats
i mean a million of them
butchering each other
as they try to get a window open
burying the new dead beneath the old dead
squeezing through any crack in the wall bigger than their own head
and this castle of rats, it’s worse than all that
there isn’t anything in this world could make you go back
there isn’t any meaning in the metaphor
i’m weaving a series of words that hurt me more
the more that i repeat ’em
[chorus]
and it’s 1, 2, 3, deep breath and hold it
3, 2, 1, and let it go
i keep crawling onwards even though there’s no road
cut your knees to sh~t don’t scream just hold it woah
nana nanana na
nana nanana na
nana nanana na na na
they say that history repeats itself in cycles
well i could walk you through the next 10 years with my eyes closed
empires rising to scr~pe the sky
then wondering why when the sky falls
it leaves a crater a mile wide
sh~t, f~ck, godd~mnit i’m tongue tied
struck dumb by the notion of another nation in decline
no dough for the gas so
go straight to the back of the bread line
keep going to work, keep paying your rent
please, keep buying your tvs
on a 3 year lease
keep voting for people that don’t give a f~ck if you freeze to death in the streets
keep feeding your species, to the high priests
of the beast and pray
that you’re big enough in your life to maybe afford a coffin one day
oh, you’ll be a willing slave
to the global lobotomy
god save the economy!
and woah~
sorry what’s that
oh, a notification from the state sanctioned anxiety app
okay
apparently people who suffer from panic attacks resembling mine
are 7 to 9 times more likely of committing a crime along the lines of
going on strike
being a nuisance
distracting the workforce
radical discourse in a public sp~ce
holding the people to blame for the state of this place
accountable for the decisions they make
and if all else fails
if there’s no other recourse
taking the recourses we desperately need
from the people that h~~rd them
by force
and so i have been prescribed a guided meditation
to be completed 3 times a day or receive a formal citation
[chorus]
1, 2, 3, deep breath and hold it
3, 2, 1, and let it go
keep crawling onwards even though there’s no road
cut your knees to sh~t don’t scream just hold it
1, 2, 3, deep breath and hold it
3, 2, 1, and let it go
keep crawling onwards even though there’s no road
cut your knees to sh~t don’t scream just hold it
oh nana nanana na na na
nana nanana na
nana nanana na
nana nanana na na na
i said oh, oh
oh ma nanana
(yeah, something like that, i don’t know)
