The Condition Songtext
von Look to Windward

Congratulations and celebrations
I′ll fetch the drink
Wander the streets alone
Under fluorescent glow
Then it arrived in a blink

I'm bent over the sink
Bruises are showing
I stare into the brink
And hear it′s over

A door to somewhere
Opened above the 'fare
Voices inviting me through
Before I made that plunge
Sirens and loaded guns
They pulled a bag over my head


I'm bent over the sink
Bruises are showing
Cannot afford to think
Avoid disclosure
So I stare into the brink
And hear it′s over

Come here
I never bite with all of my teeth at once I swear
They locked me in here
Just wait, please
It′s not as bad as what you've been led to believe
Who wrote that of me?
You′re told I'm crazy
Through the glass is my tomb
Will you believe them?
Your visit′s over too soon

I'm bent over the sink
Bruises are showing
Cannot afford to think
Avoid disclosure
I stare into the brink
Probing the same granular dying cause


They have me strapped down like an animal
I feel like I′m melting from every hole
Promise, I won't say a peep
They have me strapped down like an animal
I feel like I'm melting from every hole
Please, I can′t sleep
I can′t sleep
I can't sleep
I can′t sleep

Listen to me closely

Come here
I never bite with all of my teeth at once I swear
While tied to this chair
Just wait, please
It's not as bad as what you′ve been led to believe
Who wrote that of me?
Well, they don't know this
I saw our end in the door of light
How can I keep it to myself?
So many questions in the night
Questions of sight
Beamed through vile light
