lyrics

is screaming at a wall better than not screaming at all?

I forgot why I do this in the first place,
was I just following a blind impulse?
or did I feel the need to spread some 'vital message'
to be misinterpreted years down the line?
no holy spirit, no peace of mind

is screaming at a wall better than not screaming at all?

I could yell the hook of isis dose for years
to half-empty basements and to bars,
a bad mix absorbed by unconscious brick,
falling on ears deafened by my shit-tone stratocaster

and after a lifetime of pleading with humanity,
what would become of war? what would become of hierarchy?
all still alive and well and fine inside of you and me.
no holy spirit, no peace of mind

is screaming at a wall better than not screaming at all?

I'm feeling, after all,
there's no reason to write, release, or even sing this,
when all the best artists, upon discovering their helplessness,
drank themselves to death.
