Flagpole Sitta
Broken Anchor Lyrics

I had visions, I was in them;
I imagined things, like looking in the mirror, to try and understand the evil and negativity inside me.

Fingertips have memories
My sense of touch remembers your body so vividly.

Mine can't forget the curves of your body
My touch still remembers the shape of your body so well.

And when I feel a bit naughty
Sometimes, when I'm feeling frisky,

I run it up the flagpole and see who salutes
I try to show off my risky behavior, but no one seems to notice or care.

(but no one ever does)
(My risky behavior goes unnoticed).

I'm not sick but I'm not well
There isn't exactly anything wrong with me, but I'm not quite alright either.

And I'm so hot 'cause I'm in Hell.
I'm in a difficult and unpleasant situation, and it's causing me distress.

Been around the world and found
I looked around the world and discovered

That only stupid people are breeding
that only dumb people seem to be procreating.

The cretins cloning and feeding
These stupid people keep multiplying and spreading like a disease.

And I don't even own a TV
I don't even have a television.

Put me in the hospital for nerves
I was put in the hospital for mental health issues.

And then they had to commit me
They had to forcibly detain me in the hospital.

You told them all I was crazy
You convinced the doctors that I was insane.

They cut off my legs, now I'm an amputee, God damn you
As a result, the doctors took away my control, leaving me feeling powerless and mutilated.

I wanna publish 'zines
I want to publish underground magazines.

And rage against machines
I want to resist oppressive systems and authorities.

I wanna pierce my tongue
I want to pierce my tongue for the sake of the experience.

It doesn't hurt, it feels fine
It doesn't hurt at all, it actually feels good.

The trivial sublime
The small things in life feel great.

I'd like to turn off time
I want to escape reality or stop the ticking of the clock.

And kill my mind
I want to clear my mind of all burdens and problems.

You kill my mind, mind
You're driving me crazy.

Paranoia, paranoia
I'm feeling paraniod and on edge.

Everybody's coming to get me
Everyone's out to get me.

Just say you never met me
Pretend you don't know who I am.

I'm running underground with the moles (digging holes)
I'm trying to hide and escape from reality.

Hear the voices in my head
I hear strange voices in my mind.

I swear to God it sounds like they're snoring;
The voices in my head sound like they're peacefully sleeping.

But if you're bored, then you're boring.
If you're bored, then it's because you're simply boring yourself.

The agony and the irony: they're killing me (whoa).
The emotional pain and contradictions are negatively affecting me.

And it's a sin to live this well
It feels like I'm living too comfortably, and it's almost a sin.

One, two, three, four
Countdown to further chaos.
