CATASTROPHE COMMITTEE LYRICS :

Would you like it more if I
Bite my tongue until it bleeds
Would you like it more if I
Suck on the fingers
Of the hand that feeds
Underneath the skin
Between the heart and the circuitry
The truth is stranger than it seems
The truth is stranger than their wildest dreams

I once paid a fortune teller $200 to tell me
That I harbor a darkness
For that price I was expecting a little more
than old news and the tiger’s eye she so
Delicately pressed into the palms of my hands
Filthy hands
Hands that firmly shook those belonging to
death and chaos as they greeted me at gates
of this curious hell
An appropriate welcoming committee
“Come in!” they insisted
Grinning like a pair of used car salesmen
that just sold a piece of sh!t El Camino
To someone with more money than sense
Needless to say
They stayed
Some things are bound by
quantum entanglement
And fate
And it’s just meant to be because the f*cking stars said so
For so many years we’ve held hands and adventured
The three of us
Myself
Chaos
And death
Bad Influences who taught me early on that the world moves fast
At the pace of wilting flowers
Christened in calamity
And gale force winds
It’s no coincidence that tradition crowns the casket
in floral arrangements
Reminiscent of the sugary icing
that’s topped decades worth of birthday cakes
It’s a warning
A warning in primary colors and perfect cursive handwriting
A skeleton dances merrily on the tarot card before me
Death smiled
Chaos smiled
And we shared an awkward high-five

Would you like it more if I
Bite my tongue until it bleeds
Would you like it more if I
Suck on the fingers
Of the hand that feeds
Underneath the skin
Between the heart and the circuitry
The truth is stranger than it seems
The truth is stranger than their wildest dreams
