Dismemberment Plan

Automatic

Dismemberment Plan


I dunno what brings you 'round again 
I dunno what sends you on your way once more, 
It's not for me to say 

there's a bright light right around the bend 
See it bathe us both in that fluorescent glow, 
So monstrous and final 

So monstrous and final 

I could see you through the dirty waves 
Smiling like a vampire as you 
Disappeared beneath the whitecaps 

But a man can't live for what he saves 
I could feel my toes curl through the yellow sand 
As I watched you slip away 

Once again the politics of common sense: 
You do and I don't 
I could tell you it's not true but what's the use, 
It's automatic caught inbetween, yeah

was a star that once burned crazy red 
An ashen globe that spins with dead momentum 
Lost in absolute space 

Even as this wavelength pulses dread 
Linger like the cold burn of electric shocks, 
So slow to fade away 

Once again the fireworks of bad ideas: 
You will and I won't 
Light the sky with long-gone hate that comes from 
Where it's automatic caught inbetween
