Mediaman, Lonesome Lonesome End...

I am the rock beneath the feet on which I stand 
Bleeding, I am the dry Caucasian man 
Sitting here, my mind controlled again 
Enjoying this damned freedom which you grant

Hear how you tear down another land 
Humor, love and sinking drowning fate 
I stare at the painted ruffles on the edges round my plate 
Fornicating with the camera, we communicate

Slipping furthur into a mediamanic state 
We stumble towards the grave, we die 
Escape the bonds, we grasp the gate 
Claw the haunting loving lie. 

I can't fill the void which you will make 
Though you deliver me into temptation 
Past this life which I have faked 
I stare blankly at your menace, half cocked and half baked.
