The Mouth Licking What You’ve Bled Songtext
von Meshuggah

I′m the shallow, the superficial, I'm the common man
Faithless, narrow-minded, indifferent, impassive
Sycophantic leech, tantamount to disintegrity
I′m the vulture feeding on malignancy

I'm the sin, the lecherous sneering at prostration
I wallow in disease, I rejoice at degradation
I yawn at misery, spit at others' happiness
An advocate of manipulation, I embrace the sickening


I′m the lost, I′m average
I'm common!
I′m infection, I'm human
I′m common
A worm thriving in seas of disgust
I'm common
The mouth licking what you′ve bled
I'm common

I'm the pampered degenerate
I indulge my inclinations
The only words to my attention
Are those that I myself create

Disorder!
Chaos!

I debar all order, repudiate all purity
Infatuated by contentment
I laugh at lies
Come behold the sickness in my common human eyes

I′m the greed, the cynic, I′m the indifferent gaze
Mendacity, betrayal, this is not a phase
Ebullient with human filth, here I am, here I stay
Flourishing in our disgrace, blessed be the human way
