The Sick Man of Europe “Consumption” Lyrics:
Now throw my body to the ground
And weigh it down with cold wet earth
Absolve myself with burning light
And feast now on the human dearth
It doesn’t matter what I said,
Or where I’ve been or what I’ve done
The consequence nonsense spoke
Regurgitated endless hum
I’m consuming myself
We’re living of death
There’s a human expiration on everything that we ate
And the echos from the radio stank of putrid hate
But I’ve said enough words, said enough words
Said enough words so I just shake
With twisted guts and rotten luck, we’re bound to what we make
I’m consuming myself
We’re living of death
Everything turns to dust, everything becomes filth
Everything, everything, everything
