Brainwash (Sale) (1)
We need to wash our brains like we wash our cars
Before we let insanity leak too far
And all the alcoholics hit themselves with bats
So they may become a willful amnesiac
And you should know that they don't drink for the taste
It's time to forget, to forget the mistakes
Out of sight out of mind
Makes a fool out of the blind
So I'll gouge out your eye, will you gouge out mine?
So we can be the ones to behold beauty this time
My past sticks to my feet like spilled soda on the floor
Of the movie theater, and the actors have a sore
Tongue from talking, let's feed it to a cat
If none of us would talk then we could avoid some mishaps
We need to wash our brains like we wash our cars
And don't you dare think that it's bizarre
Because I want to forget, and I want to forgive
But I don't have that much grace
Anger leaks through me like a sieve
Well-Oiled Machine (2)
Overdosing on caffeine
He died a drunk man filled with gasoline
He let his last words out with a scream:
"They say with age comes wisdom but I didn't learn anything"
Overdosing on anything
He grabbed a bottle and drank it just as mean
Gone to the lake of fire where he went fishing
Fancy's himself a demon, and he's good at catching
What was that, he was a teenager, too
Never learned what he was supposed to do
Locked the door to his room
And in the dark he did nothing, which was nothing new
He was a person, too
As a well-oiled machine
With pumps in his blood to push out the tears and make a stream
Fickle flea, a nihilist, a cynic freak
In the same room, in the same being
The embodiment of the average personality
It's quite abnormal to have normalities
It's quite abnormal to never go a little crazy
He bought a nice lure
In hell they have a nice fishing store
Dropped his line in the lake of fire
Caught the son he had inspired
