lyrics

The Earth was spurned
From the wreckage of a war and a hurricane
Black vultures like soft-bodied ticks swollen on remains
If you've seen it once, you've seen it a million times
Seldom self-made men admit help of any kind
You'll get no solace here
You'll find no quiet here

Except for the feeling you might be all alone
And singing at the ceiling
Don't tell me that nobody's home
With all the world surrounding us
There's no chance
That this all was happenstance
Tell me how this looked
Before everything changed

Modern day mother's milk mostly measures melamine
Fools the lips but not the belly
If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times
Not to play with guns
Still I hear you whistling down the barrel of a .45
You'll get no comfort here
You'll find no answers here

Except to the questions
You thought you might not ask
When every nerve and notion
Has been put to task
And stretched beyond, beyond
Like wildfires
There's no design
Or reason or rhyme
Tell me where the mountain was
Before we stripped it

This is the death of adventure
There is no wild to discover
El Dorado is pyrite
And every kingdom smolders
Unseen hands
Etch-a-Sketching across the land
This is the end of a century
Things are bad enough
Do we need to add

Melamine?
Couldn't taste a thing
Desperate and haunting
Melamine
Couldn't taste a thing
Melamine
