Slit Yourself
(lyrics by Hickey, music by Gomez/Green/Hickey/Meakim)

shut the ballet down....

revered words for all to follow
don't put it in your mouth if you don't plan to swallow
greedy hands for apathetic plans
three-piece suits meat wide demands
hardened atmospheres collapse upon you
if it fits, then wear the shoe
raped yourself of all integrity
this mindless mask for all to see

if i've told you once i've told you twice
don't slit yourself to cut your life

quiet now before the storm hits
run and find shelter while the clock still ticks
you can bury your head deep beneath the sand
wallow in your grief despite the man
house of glass you've built to sleep
a short fuse, so the nerve runs deep
and they shine so clean despite soiled ways
prove to me that some crime pays

don't slit yourself!
