"I was looking out from my third floor, top floor apartment on First Avenue and St.Marks and I wrote what I saw." - Lach

lyrics

Doomed From The Start

Thugs and mentals stand gaping in the rain
Screaming skeletons running from ghosts
The city is eating its children
From deep within its belly I can hear the beast boast

None of you can stop
I’m too far inside of your heart
None of you can stop
You’re all doomed
Doomed from the start

Millions and millions of starving people
Opaque faces swim in the streets
Mole-men, mole-women their skin turned pale
Blind eyes blinking and brains in jail

Hypnotized parasites hyped on success
You can’t tell them from the way that they’re dressed
But stand them naked under noon’s bright sun
And you’ll die laughing at your own reflection

None of you can stop
I’m too far inside of your heart
None of you can stop
You’re all doomed
Doomed from the start
