Artist picture
Facetious attitude periodically eclipsed by heart-felt wonderings about the existential root
WHERE SAVAGES ROAM I'm threatened by the safety net and troubled by solutions to the problems of the world I tremble when the earth is calm and sleep under the rubble like a frightened feral animal Oh, but it's cold in the home where the savages roam Where the savages roam Aah, aah, aah ... The harshest winter yet All the horses have run crazy God has killed the internet The final course has been taken No, no, no No, no, no No, no, no Aah, aah, aah ...

Story behind the song
Schadenfreude
Lyrics
OBLIVIA Being oblivious to danger and impervious to pain You're the envy of all strangers on the midnight train And you know that: Friends are a dime a dozen, making twelve too many dimes If it comes to pocket change you know you'll do just fine What could ever make you wonder, be enough to give you pause to appreciate the thunder and the weight of natural cause? If emotions cause a stumble If devotion has you crawl I could see you're only human after all I might know that you're just human after all Someone asks you for a favor but you were nice once before and you're not obliged to be so anymore Can't you feel that pressure squarely on you might impress upon you now the risk you face, exposure to the grace When the gales of truth undress you when they strip away your pride When the commons curse or bless you when they join to share your ride When the odds once in your favor are no longer on your side It will make me feel just fine to see you cry It would make me feel just fine to hear you cry You surround yourself with bodies from the labor force you've trained to perform whatever miracle required All aboard, men ... I presume you are delusional from all your trips, to where? Withered flowers claim the fragrance of your hair When you feel your threads unravel, ever threatened? Ever scared? On your course of frequent travel ever stop to start to care that you might reveal a weakness, telling crack in your veneer, that a living soul might ever hold you dear, that one giving heart could gladly find you near? If emotions cause a stumble and devotion has you crawl I could see you're only human after all I might know that you're just human after all
