Human Ashtray

from Least Concern by Mandate of Heaven

/

lyrics

I was a disease when I was young
I was on my knees when I was young
Spiders and fleas they bit my tongue
I was on my knees, but now I’m done
And if you’ve seen me, you’ve unseen me
Beautiful seeds grow into dry brown weeds
And they turn to dust in the human ashtray
Don’t you know I burned a hole right through
Now hold still and let me do it to you
My knife gets jealous of my gun
Lays eggs in my eyes just for fun
And paints all my enemies with a symbol of the sun
I was on my knees, but now I’m done
And if you’ve seen me, you’ve unseen me
My beautiful seeds grew into dry brown weeds
And they turn to dust in the human ashtray
And it’s enough to make you sick,
Enough to make you wake up floating in the creek
And you’re just another human ashtray, dying on the north side
Just another human ashtray
Dying on the north side
