We wrote these plans took the order 

the architecture and followed them to the end ‘till the gears ground 

cold and relentless there was no remorse 



we had none we kept on with no trace of a regret 

there was no remorse 



I never saw any blood 

no soul 

for the body 

watch them turn her scab covered skin into 

stone 

like a coal in the sky 

searching for the dawn 

for the last time 

bloated with white eyes wide 



you lose 

I profit 

high noon and there ain't no secrets 

no more 

excuses 



now our number's up 

let them lead us by the throat 

now just smile while the rope pulls tighter 

tighter 



guilty is an understatement 

the hourglass is never right side up 

and all the time we try to tear the script up 

forgetting all the sour for the sweet 

the paragraph has never been so empty 



the lifeless test tube 



the lifeless test tube 

with infant in arms 

the lifeless test tube 

look what she's done 



evolution gave us a clock that's always 

winding down 

evolution gave us a clock that's always 

winding down
