Open Face Surgery lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Open Face Surgery lyrics I ve learned to control my thoughts ever since I recognized the first eavesdropper: those who listen in on my thoughts, my logic, my sanity I cannot let them know I don t know the verses, or converse in my head: lash out at future foes, banter with friends I ve not yet met The psychoaggressive minions of your lord mock with laugher I can t hear, with hidden scowls they admonish me Nothing s sacred, Nothing s safe: your filthy god is omnipresent, this undying nonentity that haunts my every waking dream They watch me, his mortal flock, they know me now by sight alone: my thoughts are too well concealed... Yet I sense more scrutiny Fleeting lucidity s too loud for me, let me be my silent self: our existences irreconciled Make them stop! I m rotting fast... The answer, painful though it may be, is change Alter my outer shell... The listener s may not, then, know it s me Open Face Surgery: short of pain and long on masquerade Ounce by ounce, lose a little weight nip here, tuck there... So who needs eyelids? song lyrics
