Light This City - The Static Masses Lyrics
Even when I was youngerI could feel your slimy sculptor�s hands shaping every uneven feature of my body after your fantasies.Forever crafted to a silentExcessive perfection.Fingers digging out all visible flaws, Yet you still aren�t satisfied with your work.I�ll never breathe or blink or look you in the eye.I�ll never show a single sign that I�m alive.The time will come to break the chiselThat hacked away our trust.I�ll never speak or think or spit straight in your eye. I�ll never show a single sign I can defy.You need to understand it�s what you�ve done to all of us.As you approach, I�ll always freeze right where I�m standing, heart beating faster under the cold, Hard clay that has become my skin.It�s buried so deep, You�d never know it was there. But you�re seeking something.I can see it when you examine my every feature for something more than what you�ve designed.I�ll never breathe or blink or look you in the eye.I�ll never show a single sign that I�m alive.The time will come to break the chisel that hacked away our trust.I�ll never speak or think or spit straight in your eye. I�ll never show a single sign I can defy.You need to understand it�s what you�ve done to all of us.Weighed down by my own heavy splendor, I�m just a statue to pose at your parties, surrounded by a stiff, leering mass groping for a feel of the new old trend.But what more can I give you besides my rigid presence?
