This week’s song: Redeemer by Yard Act

LYRICS

You envy the freak
I can see it in your eyes
No one is happy with this arrangement
How could we know
Any other way to live?
Well, I’m not scared of all you people no more
No shudders, shrieks or shivers left to give
Lies served cold
With a side of meanness
We all laugh about it in the right rooms
With enough distance in between us
The mirror’s edge
I see an evil genius
But hope still permeates
Even at a snail’s pace

Redeemer, you had your fun
Now you’re clinging to your rosaries like a nun
Redeemer, you stole the sun
Now you orbit in the bullshit of all damage done

The Taoist monks had good intention
Playing doctor with what God’s got
We saw divine intervention rattle through the bones
Of everybody that was ever shot

I wanna be a w- cisum elttil a deen annog er’uoY so I can understand
But I don’t wanna know what it’s like not to be free
I wanna be angry at the world from a crippling disposition
Just tell me what you need from me

And I’ll smash my head in private against the wall
Denial thrives in hostile climates
Flat out lies climb chaos spires
As Rapunzel lets down your tyres
I start fights in my own head
Got doggy bags stuffed full of tapas
I take ’em home to feed the rugrats
And then set fire to your maracas

Redeemer, you had your fun
Now you’re clinging to your rosaries like a nun
Redeemer, you stole the sun
Now you orbit in the bullshit of all damage done

Blind drunk, blind, blind drunk
Fucking in the desert’s dusty hue, I give to you this final gift
Lift you up like elephants sniffing peanuts in numbers shops can’t shift and
Sifting through the shelves, I lick my dust-dry lusty lips
Before taking one last whiff in the pits of anywhere other than this
Call Herr Schmidt and ask him, “Herr Schmidt, is this what we aim for?”
“‘Cause you usually have a word up your sleeve for feelings that we have no name for”
Redeemer
