lyrics

There he goes again
Mistaking his truth for original sin
Everyone got kicked out of Eden
And pointed the finger back at him

Well its simple
J-j-j-j-just follow your impulse

YOU'LL FIND THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN WITHIN YOU

Three days of Purification
After a lifetime of Indignation
This is quite the education
Man fuck it, it's a cause for celebration (, uh)


Don't be alarmed if it feels there's nobody in charge
It's p-p-p-parcel-and-part of the process
A regress, atonement for this hierarchical mess

And i'll digress in a minute
I'll let you find a seat and be at home in it
This is absolution, not prosecution, and I give you my best

(is this the afterlife or just a second try?
last thing I remember was closing my eyes
and now i'm in every place at the same time
and i've come to find that the mind
is a foil too spoiled by my greedy eyes
i've now surmised that keeping them closed
will shut the lid on being dissatisfied)

OH, WELCOME TO PURGATORY
JUST HAVE A SEAT AND WE'LL BE WITH YOU IN A MINUTE
WE'LL NEVER LEAVE BUT THAT'S THE WAY WE LIKE IT, INNIT?
AND LIVING IN THE PRESENT IS MY VERY BEST FRIEND
