Lyrics
Take him to a special place

Where the images can breathe

A thousand stitches to the temple

Is everything he'll need

Wake up, disembody the world

A boy clad in his shadow arrives

His dream is to receive a clear mind

From the crown devourers

My venom will soon be his medicine

Keep it close to your heart

And free the brain so your ass will follow

Hopefully the boy can make it back

Let the tombstone float

Let his kisses reform it

Take him to a special place

Where the images can breathe

A thousand stitches to the temple

Is everything he'll need

Turn soonest to the air

Where certainty is a grandeur

A boy's skin with a demonic groan

Be the first to peck a tombstone

Stairs amass the thoughts

Of a dying reporter

As luck would have it

Those sentiments belong to this kid

Myron once spoke to me and said,

"Always go West like a punk."

The boy is doing the same

And then he stumbles upon the chatterbox

Wake up, disembody the world

The world could use more polishing

Reporters are in truth dirty thieves

Why do I have to grieve?

Over my numbness...

Take him to a special place

Where the images can breathe

A thousand stitches to the temple

Is everything he'll need

Turn soonest to the air

Where certainty is a grandeur

A boy's skin with a demonic groan

Will be the first to peck a tombstone
