lyrics

Machiavelli drank dark wine alone
By the moonlight
With a bloodthirsty colony of bats
The inner taskmaster
Reveals pain
And kills emotion
Like some kind of stoic autocrat
Bravo as the Buddha
Learned to sit quietly
In a room alone
How the Arno stood still
Like a Hockney swimming pool
Hitler always felt some bridges
Too important to burn

I won’t live or die
I’ll be only nothing
I won’t live or die
I’ll be only nothing

Socratic navel gazing
Through platonic love
I’m the olive that falls from the tree
Analyse this Albert Ellis
I fear I’ve booked my place
In the divine comedy
Bloodcurdling misanthropy
Was my old philosophy
I’m taking back every word
That I said
Down past the house of the Medici
In the corridor of the Uffizi
The statues shake their heads
I never knew I could upset the dead

I won’t live or die
I’ll be only nothing
I won’t live or die
I’ll be only nothing

I will live and die
I will be just something
Just something
Only something
