Does the night devour the eyes
Of the sun that hypnotize
Little cars crash and burn
With a sign that says no U-Turn

As the day shuts its mouth
Thoughts are leaking in the South
In the bathroom on the tile
Sleeps a cold crocodile

Do these words turn to rust
Does the tongue ask the dust

Ask the dust (4x)

Metaphysics fuck the meaning
I'm alone and so are you. (4x)

Does the heart revenge itself
Take its beatings somewhere else
And does the brain resent the bone
That keeps it there all alone

Does the flesh give a shit
Of what goes on inside of it
And does the blood recall the scene
Where fish see red eternally

Do these words turn to rust
Does the tongue ask the dust

Ask the dust (4x)

Metaphysics fuck the meaning
I'm alone and so are you. (4x)

Repeat last verse
