Officer Negative - The Palpable Illusion lyrics

Do I help you

Find a sense of fulfillment

Avoid pain,

Help you make it through the day

You demand that your

Internal needs be met

You make me

A part of your rituals

That feed

To dehumanize me

Your actions

Dehumanize me

Illusive image

That you can control

That you can own

Or fulfill anytime

The palpable illusion

Of intimacy

But no substance

Intrusively using me

As if I have no emotions

And no soul

You're not emotionally involved

Or committed to me

(x2)

You seek your rest in my pain

I'm your avoidance of intimacy

You touch and want to be touched

But you're left only with self

Fulfill unmet needs

Without consideration

Without considering

How I feel

Aggressively degrading

Using as an object

You're not emotionally involved

Or committed to me (x2)

You seek your rest in my pain

I'm your avoidance of intimacy

You touch and want to be touched

But you're left only with self

(x2) You seek your rest in my pain
