Of Montreal - Triumph of Disintegration lyrics

rate me

The last ten days have been a motherfucker

I didn’t know if I’d survive

The voice with the synapse that calls blood bats into action

Has now entered the tablelands

It’s only natural to feel a little imbalanced

It’s a symptom of your hysterical need to be understood

You had to forgive your enemy ‘cause it was making you psychotic

To keep fighting him inside of your head

But how could you allow these people that you don’t even respect

To rape your self-concept and make your inner world an ugliness?

Thrashed through the forest like a tormented brute

I had to make myself a monster just to feel something ugly enough to be true

And then scratching wildly at the mirror

In my heart to see their doleful faces

What is the flaw in just running away?

Running away fixes everything

How can I, why should I stay?

Just to view the triumph of disintegration?

To live beneath language or far above

It’s really not that different

At least now that the one thing that is good about me

Has begun to express itself in malicious ways

Thrashed through the forest like a tormented brute

I had to make myself a monster just to feel something ugly enough to be true

And then scratching wildly at the mirror

In my heart to see their doleful faces

What is the flaw in just running away?

Running away fixes everything

How can I, why should I stay?

Just to see the triumph of disintegration?

Victories of devastation
