Artist: Of Montreal Album: Paralytic Stalks (2012) Title: Gelid Ascent
Lyrics Gelid AscentYou are what parasites evolved from Still an unanswered question You are the refused energy from a superior form Nothing that occurs to you is intended for your involvement You're an irrelevant effect Unavoidable, but of no influence One last thing you must understand To be dead is to be confused, to be mistaken
You speak to me like the anguish of a child dosed in flames You speak to me like the stones that bash in his skull and brains exposed It's always been the same, 200 thousand years of viciousness The violent autism of our suborned, oblique, cracked out species You speak to me like the rifles that annihilated his face You speak to me in a voice so dry and calm and impassive yeah But really what do you know You know nothing of the impuissance of empathy, The straight wretchedness of abandonment The dehumanizing press of love Oh you speak to me |
