Lyrics

Flies Flies Sitting here like uninvited company Wallowing in my own obscenities I share a cigarette with negativity Sitting here like wet ashes With X's in my eyes and drawing flies Bathed in perspiration, drowned my enemies Used my inspiration for a guillotine I fire a loaded mental cannon to the page Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride Sitting here like wet ashes With X's in my eyes and drawing flies I said, "Hey, what you yellin'? About conditions, permission, mirrored self affliction Hey, what you yellin? About sadist's co-addiction, perfect analogies Hey, what you yellin? About conditions, permission, mirrored self affliction" Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride Sitting here like wet ashes With X's in my eyes and drawing flies (flies) Sitting here like uninvited company Wallowing in my own obscenities I share a cigarette with negativity Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride Sitting here like wet ashes With X's in my eyes and drawing flies Flies Flies Flies Flies Flies Flies
