Take What You Please

A mineshaft after dark
Compartmentalize our thoughts
Creeping across the stone
Realize nobody is home
They've been kicked out
No more sound now
Husk crunches underfoot
But no more feels of the picture books
Just diffidence, it's different
Once the legs of the big, terrible sky
Lay vulnerable before the eyes
Shred, pump, flatten, plump, shape, shine
Shred, pump, flatten, plump, shape, shine
The belt never stops
We suffocate, never stops
Plant a tree for everyone you see
But what if there are none left
We can't see the bees, the trees, you tease
The big time sleaze not concentrated on please
They take, but never leave
