Walkin' with Michael Douglas
Redemption's Sip: A Wilhelm Scream's Cynical Heartache
Lyrics
Send a priest to save my soul forget it
Reject the idea of seeking salvation from a priest.
Send a doctor, take my pulse forget it
Reject the notion of having a doctor check your pulse.
Feelin' it too hard is the poison
Experiencing something too intensely is the poison.
To the heart of a cynic redemption
The cynic's heart seeks redemption despite the poison.
Now I'm waking to pains and shaking
Waking up to physical pain and tremors.
My guts are rotting out
Suffering from internal decay or distress.
I'm slurring my speeches
Speaking unclearly due to intoxication.
For fun and forget you now
Engaging in reckless behavior to forget someone.
Baptismal pool of my sleeping mouth
A metaphorical reference to a troubled state, seeking cleansing.
I apologize for these transgressions
Expressing regret for wrongdoing.
Wish I could say that I learned my lesson
Desire to learn from mistakes, though unsure if achieved.
But the bottle, she's calling
The allure of alcohol and its influence.
To this sickness that lives with me
A lingering illness or addiction.
All these hungry, angry mouths, forgiven
Forgiveness for those with hunger and anger.
Silenced, belly-up for a round, forgiven
People silenced or defeated, seeking forgiveness.
Feeling it too hard is the poison
Reiteration of the poison of feeling too intensely.
To the heart of a cynic redemption
Redemption sought by the heart of a cynic despite the poison.
Regarding my wishes, washed me clean
Desire for purification and renewal of wishes.
Ring me out over and over again
Repetition of cleansing imagery.
Just promise to save my
Request to be remembered despite disgrace.
Place in your disgrace
Association with shame and a plea for preservation.
A riot can start with fuck all abounds
A chaotic situation starting with very little.
A measure of apathy so proud
Apathy as a significant factor in societal unrest.
A promising son or a drunken sound
Ambiguous reference to a potential source of disturbance.
Is the distance between you and I so far?
Questioning the emotional distance between individuals.
So long to vitriol
Bidding farewell to bitterness and hostility.
The fuck you's the chain and ball
Recognizing the burden of expressing anger.
Forget it forget it forget it forget it
Repeated rejection of certain actions or ideas.
Feeling it too hard is the poison
Reiteration of the poison of intense feelings.
To the heart of a cynic redemption
Redemption sought despite the cynic's heart and poison.
Feeling it too hard is the poison
Repetition emphasizing the intensity of feeling as poison.
To the heart of a cynic redemption
Redemption sought despite the cynic's heart and poison.
A riot can start with fuck all abounds
Chaos starting with very little; apathy contributing proudly.
A measure of apathy so proud
Apathy as a notable quality in a promising individual.
A promising son or a drunken sound
Ambiguity about the potential for disturbance from a son or a sound.
Is the distance between you and I so far?
Questioning the perceived distance between individuals.
