Eye on the TV because tragedy thrills me
\nWhatever flavor it happens to be
\nLike
\n     Killed by the husband
\n     Drowned by the ocean
\n     Shot by his own son
\n     She used a poison in his tea and kissed him goodbye
\nThat’s my kind of story
\nIt’s no fun until someone dies<\/p>\n

Don’t look at me like I am a monster
\nFrown-out your one face, but with the other stare like a junkie into the TV
\nStare like a zombie
\nWhile the mother holds her child
\nWatches him die
\nHands to the sky crying
\n“Why, oh why?”<\/p>\n

Because I need to watch things die from a distance
\nVicariously I live while the whole world dies
\nYou all need it too, don’t lie<\/p>\n

Why can’t we just admit it?
\nWhy can’t we just admit it?
\nWe won’t give pause until the blood is flowing<\/p>\n

Neither the brave nor bold were writers of the stories sold
\nWe won’t give pause until the blood is flowing<\/p>\n

I need to watch things die from a good safe distance
\nVicariously I live while the whole world dies
\nYou all feel the same so why can’t we just admit it?<\/p>\n

Blood like rain comes down
\nDrum on grave and ground<\/p>\n

Part vampire
\nPart warrior
\nCarnivore and voyeur
\nStare at the transmittal
\nSing to the death rattle<\/p>\n

Credulous at best your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men
\nPull your head out of your hippy haze and give a listen, I shouldn’t have to say it all again
\nThe universe is hostile, so impersonal
\nDevour to survive
\nSo it is, so it’s always been<\/p>\n

We all feed on tragedy
\nIt’s like blood to a vampire<\/p>\n

Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
\nMuch better you than I<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
