The Silicone Veil

I'm a larva wrapped in silk

I am dyin' in burnin' flesh

Let me out, let me ache

Let me out, let me ache and itch

Get me out of this suit

I go to a funeral everyday

I follow these people around

I follow these people like a rat's tail

I carry their caskets, I sing them goodnight

They're better off without me

Beauty is poisonous, disruptive

Oh, Heaven must be an iron rose unfoldin'

Oh, let me in, let me out

Let me in, let me out

This is a retirement

From plumbing the veins of rats and kings

Let the stars be my eyes then

Unchain the knuckles and latches

Unbutton my wrists

My skin's so thin you can see black holes within

My eyes so clear they light up the sky

And sometimes I'll bend into the silicone veil

And enter this world again as a ghost

Beauty is poisonous, disruptive

Oh, Heaven must be an iron rose unfoldin'

Oh, let me in, let me out

Let me in, let me out

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out

Let me out
