Meshuggah - "The Mouth Licking What You've Bled"


I'm the shallow, the superficial. I'm the common man.
Faithless, narrow minded, indifferent, impassive.
A sycophantic leech. Tantamount to disintegrity.
I'm the vulture feeding on malignancy.

I'm the sin, the lecherous sneering at prostration.
I wallow in disease. I rejoice at degradation.
I yawn at misery. Spit at others happiness.
An advocate of manipulation. I embrace the sickening.

I'm the lost. I'm average. I'm common.
I'm infection. I'm human. I'm common
A worm thriving in seas of disgust. I'm common.
The mouth licking what you've bled. I'm common.

I'm the pampered degenerate.
I indulge my inclinations
The only words to my attention
Are those that I myself create
Disorder. Chaos.

I debar all order, repudiate all purity.
Infatuated by contentment.
I laugh at lies.
Come behold the sickness in my common human eyes.

I'm the greed. The cynic. I'm the indifferent gaze.
Mendacity, betrayal; this is not a phase
Ebullient with human filth, here I am. Here I stay.
Flourishing in our disgrace. Blessed it be the human way.
