THE SUBTLE WAY LYRICS

"The Procedure"

I felt the softest protoplasmic kiss to grace my ear

A futile synapse bypassed-blockaded the neurons faded

Follow close but not much closer

And listen close, oh listen close sir

Your eyes and ears are tainted gears that turn away from every worm



So lock the doors and shut the windows

What we say here stays here

Oh if only I had known

Looking back on every corner I cut

I would have bore the larger load

I would have walked the longer road

Like I said

What we say here stays here



I can taste the coldest chemical omens that the worms carved to my tongue

With such poise and I am poisoned

It won’t be long

With such a touch as theirs it’s bound to break the skin

So listen close my dear, these walls are paper thin



These walls are paper thin/And if you scream you’ll give us away

Through the walls and every orifice and every corner of the skin

Hold your breath and clench your fists because the worms are ready to begin



When you know that, to look back

Would mean a thousand wounds

You’ll know your right on track

And once your eyes, have fought back

Those rebels in the dark

You’ve lost the stars



But once your wounds fill in

And once your blood can thin…



Stronger with strong words

And bolder than boulders

Our might is unclear

So watch what you say here.
