DRAWING FLIES

Sitting here like uninvited company
Wallowing in my own obscenities
I share a cigarette with negativity
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes
And drawing flies

Bathed in perspiration drowned my enemies
Used my inspiration for a guillotine
I fire a loaded mental cannon to the page
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes
And drawing flies

Hey what you yellin' about
Conditions, permission, mirrored self-affliction
Hey what you yellin' about
Sadists' co-addiction, perfect analogies
Hey what you yellin' about
Conditions, permission, mirrored self-affliction

Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes
And drawing flies

writers block, and he is feeling insecure "Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial" about his own lyrical ability... and i love the bit where it seems like he is attacking himself and what he does. "Hey what you yellin' about Conditions, permission, mirrored self-affliction Hey what you yellin' about Sadists' co-addiction, perfect analogies Hey what you yellin' about Conditions, permission, mirrored self-affliction" etc i always hated the idea of writing a song about writers block until i realised that was what this is about,
