Serving from a white-hot plate
Carving with a white-hot knife
Draped and wrapped in tattered shreds of hate
From a careful cardboard life
Tears drop on leaves, then vanish into smoke
In the trails of their wake
Gasses broil up from the times when they fought
Simple as this ten-second melody
This ten-second thought

A living room all smashed out of shape
And a bedroom all in rags
Brown strings from an old magnetic tape
Slung in coils over their backs
Mumbling their way through an anthem of regret
A chorus of unspoken goodbyes
Jamming used napkins in the hole left by the shot
Simple as this ten-second melody
This ten-second thought

Nothing left but walking bones and tendons
And a core of bitter rot
Iron maiden arms and fingers bent on
Skinning everything they got
Blood, bile and tears coat and cover every wall
Hark, hear the tolling of the bells!
Skinless and raw they curl up into knots
Simple as this ten-second melody
This ten-second thought

As the gates of every hell break open
As shapeless demons flood the grounds
They melt, just two dirty piles of snow, then
Seep away without a sound
Into the cracks of the quake that split their truths
Into the dark and numbing dirt
Out of a life, outstrung and overwrought
Simple as this ten-second melody
This ten-second thought

Into new casts, seeing what the morning brought
Simple as repeating the chorus
Of this ten-second thought

Yeah, back on the wagon, with the engine running hot
Simple as repeating the chorus
Of this ten-second thought
