Thomas Christ - The Feeling Dies

Churning out the mediocre
Like a heart that pumps grey blood
This art left fake and lifeless
A light drizzle won't cause a flood
What's left devoid of purpose
Like a snake without a head
This alligator's toothless
Can't bite you when it's dead
Taboo blots out all meaning
And art can never thrive
Hard truth can't pass the screening
That's when the feeling dies
Prohibition feeds the junk fish
That muddy up the tank
Encouraging wrong ideas
And then it's us who sank
Our art can raise the tide if
We keep it free and seen
Don't water down or hide it
Or wash and strip it clean
Taboo blots out all meaning
And art can never thrive
Hard truth can't pass the screening
That's when the feeling dies
What are you doing? You can't pretend this doesn't exist
What are you doing? You're swimming in denial
You keep running, no one's chasing
What are you afraid of facing
You keep running, no one's chasing
What are you afraid of facing
Taboo blots out all meaning
And art can never thrive
Hard truth can't pass the screening
That's when the feeling dies
Taboo blots out all meaning
And art can never thrive
Hard truth can't pass the screening
That's when the feeling dies
Our truth will last forever
Your kingdom's built on lies
Our truth will last forever
Your kingdom's built on lies
Our truth will last forever
Your kingdom's built on lies
Our truth will last forever
Your kingdom's built on lies
