Cattleships and Bruisers Songtext
von Sticklips

We are standing on the brink of creation and disaster
We connect the dots
A hungry machine for delivering a child and creating symmetry
The misguided pawn is sent to the front lines
To die in the name of his king who sits
Blank and morbidly obese
Behind his battlements of impregnable greed

A falcon sighing like a feather
Falling like an angel
Suddenly your father figure clad in roses
Rising from the crypt licking his wounds
And crying for the desperate measures taken

A hybrid pervert castrates the marvelous belly dancer
As she torpedoes through the swinging doors
To finally recognize her own reflection as a filthy whore
A candid pose has captured all there is to know


The farmer rings the wedding bells
As his only daughter weds a monster
Who dwells in the dungeons
And dances on a sheer saffron tapestry
The oddities she once concealed
Are now what makes her pretty
All the boys agree
She should be held and admired endlessly
For all her perfect flaws

The ends were justified by the losses
I control the remote signal
From a distant lighthouse
The end is not so far away

And we were built like ships inside this bottle
How mysterious and how very strange

But I have watched the fickle fruit
Abandon their branches for the ground
And fits of rain have washed away
All consequence without a sound

But I′ve been assured that it's not as bad as we thought
It′s just the way the world was programmed to spin
And it's pulling us in

Grass grows around our feet
There's no one I want to meet
You won′t make me complete


And maybe the sun just keeps coming up
′Cause it has nothing better to do
And maybe the moon disappears once a month
'Cause she needs some time alone to think things through
Yeah maybe the sun just keeps coming up
′Cause it has nothing better to do
And maybe the moon disappears once a month
'Cause she needs some time alone to think things through
Yeah maybe the sun just keeps coming up
′Cause it has nothing better to do
And I say the moon disappears once a month
'Cause she is sneaking around behind our backs as someone new
