Barely intelligible garble is what directs
Infects jargon that steers you to the wreck
Toiled and twisted day after day after day
You become withered and worn
A time tested flesh machine
Look back at the work
Look and laugh
Look and cry
Look at what you've become
Look at what you've accomplished
Work consume reproduce
- FUNERAL DINER/i wish i could do the backstroke (a re-recorded version appears on The Difference of Potential LP)
Out again humming that same monotony
Knowing yet again that familiar feeling
That torn chance dream held together by just that little bit
By that tiny spec of something promised
Can you see it?
Yeah, well, maybe you'll reach it one day
Along with that calm pool
Because in this pool it's sink or swim
But you're caught doing the dead man's float
I wish I could give you something different
But I'm lying in the water face down beside you
- FUNERAL DINER/choirs and cannons
What did we do to what we had?
Why did we break down?
All of us
Your voice in my head
What was it that you said?
Choirs and cannons like a million screaming voices
Explosions, regrets, the things we did
All those memories deafening me
Blasting in my head
I can hear you
I can hear them
What happened to us?
Where did we go wrong?
What happened to you and I?
Why did we lay down and die?
Choirs and cannons to deafen you and I
To deafen us and blast us away
- FUNERAL DINER/shifting
These motives seem so long forgotten
So please remind me why I'm in this chair again
And please remind me what is the lesson learned
Because your mouth only moves so slightly
Leaving me clutching to what you've said
Words that are only cut and paste
Words supposed to make me feel for Esperanza
When she can only bleed me further dry
Shifting me sideways in this chair
So please remind me why it's so the same and why it always hurts so bad
