lyrics

I reach into bowels and pluck the petals
Off bile-smeared flowers on raw red organs
And sky like a storm cloud of muscles and shadow
That cluster like bushes at heights feeling shallow

In towns there is a flatness, a trait that unfazes
This overwhelming impetus to paint sameness
A cancer of mindlessness rendered by collective
Consciousness part of a cultural joy

Yea, I'm bored by the changes and living
Yea, I'm bored by the changes and living

And sleep is a boat marooned without oars
On islands that shape the impossible void
Through which our desires are leveled and framed
By oceans horizonless, hollow, and plain

And life like the cockroach is fine without you
Its brevity vain as it ducks out of view
And this chummy old silence has found its way in
The scratch at the ceiling, it's going again and again

Yea, I'm bored by the changes and living
Yea, I'm bored by the changes and living

Yea, I'm bored by the changes and living
Yea, I'm bored by the changes and living
Yea, I'm bored by the changes and living
Yea, I'm bored by the changes and living
