Automatic Writing No. 17 Lyrics

A horizon is a welcome home
Welcome to your unknown throne
Thrown into decay
While you were waiting for tomorrow

Deep inside a darkened room
Deep behind you I'm immune
Do you feel exposed
I fell what's inside of you

The more I watch, the more I learn
If you light yourself on fire
The world will pay to watch you burn

Down to the floor where the taking begins
(The elastic bones of a beautiful sparrow)
Lower than anywhere you've ever been
(John Whayne Gacy runs through the marrow)
This is where I live
The longer you stay here the faster you spin
(Deep behind you I'm immune, I see what's inside of you)

The more I watch, the more I learn
If you light yourself on fire
The world will pay to watch you burn

Hundreds line up but none of them have it
After he leaps through a hoop like a rabbit
Burning through devoted
Every mistake is the truth that exploded

I'm awake now, awake...awake
(How does it feel again, when you can't feel anything)
