Statue On Sun Tan

auditioning what I've never said before 
imagining what I've never saw beyond my shore 
my definition of making ends meet 
once you've seen the obscene lift your lower jaw off my scene 
the statue in me craved for some UV 
can you ban the tan 
seems like little more than ancient was the plan 
fundamental lighting 
very very frightening 
passing life through alabaster 
it's a melancholic disaster 
running backwards 
looking forwards 
he's got nothing you need 
yet for him you're gonna bleed 
how do you wanna your pain 
regular is the new plain 
this is the future, no more blood man will run on rain 
surreal tattoo looking just like real vein 
things will never be the same 
the day the stops witnessed the tracks leave the train 
search in my eyes for your uncharted terrain
