lyrics

I lit the match that burned and threw it down the well
I watched it dissipate and then inside I fell
and its so dark
inside this space
I dont think I'll escape so easily

I ate the apple that had fallen from the tree
it gave me satisfaction all too easily
and i'm so full
from all the things that I choose to ingest
and its so hard
to reciprocate when I'm put to the test

I killed the bug that flew and landed on my skin
it let out a small cry and mumbled from within
he said burn down all the things that feed on blood and gore
and its so hard
to see the things that I choose to ignore

I am a modern man and I can still feel things
i am a modern man and I can still feel things
I am a modern man and I can still feel things
I am a modern man and i can still feel things
i am a modern man and i can still feel things
