Taste Of Tendon Lyrics - Monks Of Doom

I was cross-eyed, stoned and painless 

My pulse was up my eyes were red 

My visions, situations, feelings 

Hung on my lips and burned me up 

And 18 hours spent asleep 

Could not help me from thinking that 

I had somehow managed to fool myself 

I had missed the point while puttin' 'em back 

I can't help from thinking 

As my heart keeps beating 

Of what I'd love to do 

To strip the flesh that hides these bones 

Bare my soul without a sound 

Burn my brain, lay waste to fear 

Though I won't live that many years 

And I can't shed that many tears 

Claustrophobic, paranoid 

Laughing at my routine cares 

The charade of my brilliant life 

Had drawn a crowd these last few years 

As I entertain my audience, 

The stage was torn by all I knew 

Who took me to the moon above 

Wrapped my soul in linen cloth 

I can't help from thinking 

As my heart keeps beating 

If I was jesus christ 

And all the things I'd love to know 

Why I feel the way I do, 

And what it means to be alive 

And make yourself a sacrifice 

To never have to live a lie 

You take yourself so seriously 

You're dressed in black but your soul is green 

You've got an understanding of the world 

That's only based on what you've seen 

And if you'd just admit to yourself 

That it's not such an awful place 

The grim facade that hides your mind 

May yet reveal a smiling face 

I can't help from thinking 

As my heart keeps beating 

Of what I'd love to do 

Locked away just me and you 

If you can only see me through 

And see what we could make it to 

Forget the things that need no proof 

And see the world with eyes of fools
