Skinny Puppy - Past Present lyrics

is this pure reality

could we be led to believe

lemmings up against a sea

drowning in speculation

even told when waters older

more polluted never

drink the murky media

to plumb the depth of time

what of human frailty

visualize with clarity

past the sanitation

to childish flesh and bone

bleaching sticks and stoner ribs

pukes up gallows laughter

stage the mighty media

blessing this sanitation

what is this supposed to hold

freedoms crush disparaged souls

despot dug in yellowcake

and failed to certify it

crippled son to pass it on

a hatred fed on hatred

born deify defensive form

as if to never see that

what is real canned I feel

less important than today anyway is it worth the slaughter?

Sit and feel absolutely zero suffering

a condition worth denying

pasted carcass killing fields

body parts off dolls that bleed

who was once committed for

pulling wings off flying things

feeling bold to knot put over

twisted ever after

hissing faded left alone

to replicate the lie

what is real

asks the dream

some dim shift a rift within

funniest seems a distant damp ring

fitting end destitution ego death within

a condition dear dementia
