lyrics

His body is carceral, incongruent and dissonant
There's someone somewhere out there who doesn't know destruction is imminent

Make a god for all your efforts, this superman knows more than you do
Unoriginal in all your efforts and your new god looks exactly like you

You've become pretentious in your unoriginality
Just take this dying world and transform it into a permanent novelty

Your digging up Midas, everything you destroy is turned to cash
You're a modern Prometheus, decaying memories we have of the past

The perfect obsession to fit all of our bitterness
This depraved hero built in this world of nihilists
And you're just so self-serving loving every word you've said
This patchwork god you're building is cold and empty, looks so, feels so,

Dead
Dead

Have you figured out the formula, or have you just been sold again?
Can you figure out what we all need, then you can sell it, one more time to them

What's the secret to authenticity, you can see underneath his cracked skin
Got metal shoved under his body, he's hungry, in need of deprivation

Did you gather up the right parts
I can see it, and it's obvious it's nothing
Stitch the past together again, you're building auto-corruption

This isn't the god that you wanted, but here he is anyway
You thought you knew better than the world, one validation and your morals are displaced

The perfect obsession to fit all of our bitterness
This depraved hero built in this world of nihilists
And you're just so self-serving loving every word you've said
This patchwork god you're building is cold and empty, looks so, feels so,

Dead
Dead

Dead
Your god's so
Dead
