Winter isn't much here, just a flinching centigradeThough the grass is olive jaundiced and the poplar branches flayedOh-oh, the poplar branches flayedBefore your hysterical silence, you came rapping at my doorWith your body as a sacrament, your mind a killing floorOh-oh, your mind a killing floorI've been trying to quell my angerAnd not feel bitter about all the darkness you gaveBut there's always those thatJust as [?], you tried to kill what you couldn't reignAnd now you're back in Knoxville masturbating your father's painOh-oh, masturbating your father's painStealing from his aureation of filthI repeat the wickedness to force reactions out of youBut it never hurts as deeply as I want it toI think I'll mix my medicine and explore it 'til I'm dullYou made my sky a graveyard and my moon a funeralOh-ooh-oh, my moon a funeralOh-ooh-oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh-ooh-ohOh-ooh-oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh-ooh-ohNow it's just a system of subtraction, oh yeah!I won't even turn around to notice your reactionNow it's just a system of subtraction, oh yeah!I won't even feel the hateful vibing of your factionNow it's just a system of subtractionWhatever happened to your style?Now no one cares who you areNow, oh oh oh ohOh oh, oh ohYou were once beloved by my peopleNow it's bad luck to even say your nameOh oh, oh oh, oh ohWhen I see you, it feels so awkwardI try to be cool, but it's such a dragOh oh, oh oh, oh ohI waited for you on our feral streets, smelling other people's pissI bet you think you see me backwards, babeYou ain't even seen the Blikk Fang, babeIt's not acrimonious, now it's only systems of subtraction, oh yeah!I won't even turn around to look at your reactionNow it's just a system of subtractionWhatever happened to your style?Now no one cares who you areYou used to share my broken throneNow you sing flat aloneNow, oh oh oh oh
