Lyrics

It's not a job it's a service

Work is seen as more than a job; it's about serving a purpose.

And i get paid in satisfaction

Receiving fulfillment and contentment rather than monetary payment.

It's not desire it's purpose

Not driven by want but by a defined objective.

Feeding off the chain reaction

Gaining energy or motivation from a series of connected events.

I take your calls in the bathroom

Answering calls discreetly to maintain privacy.

So that no one can hear

Aiming to keep others from overhearing conversations.

And wash your blood down the sink

Cleaning up after a situation, erasing traces of evidence.

Cause we don't keep souvenirs

Not preserving mementos or reminders of past events.


Don't say you can take it

Warning against claiming the ability to handle everything.

Don't think i won't break it

Asserting the potential to break under pressure.

Don't try to hide your shaking

Advising against concealing signs of distress.

Don't you know i know you're faking

Awareness of someone's insincerity or pretense.


Here it goes

Indicating the beginning of something significant.

Aspiration holds

Desire for achievement or ambition being held.

Obturate, unfold

Blocking off, revealing slowly.

Inclination codes

Inner tendencies or inclinations being encoded or hidden.

Here it goes


Don't look so scared

Encouragement not to appear frightened.

(This is a gift)

Reminder of a gift, despite the fear.

Don't look so bereft

Request not to seem so sorrowful or deprived.

(That's what you said)

Recollection of something someone previously stated.


Here it goes


Watching, waiting in that fashion

Observing and waiting in a manner that lacks compassion.

There's no place here for compassion

Rejecting the concept of empathy in this situation.

Aching for that interaction

Longing for an emotional exchange in a neutral state.

Negative space, neutral passion

Emptiness or absence of strong feelings in a situation.

How could you know this would happen

Questioning the anticipation of the outcome.

Blood for blood in the transaction

Tit for tat in a transactional context.

Predilection for abstraction

Preference for conceptual ideas over concrete reality.

Blood blood blood blood blood extraction

Repeated emphasis on blood extraction.

Bought tickets for the attraction

Purchasing admission to witness something.

Tallying up your infractions

Calculating or keeping track of offenses.

Drip a drop here it's your ration

Issuing a limited or controlled supply of something.

Expiration, final caption

Final statement or conclusion, possibly related to expiration.


Here it goes
