I did it to protect myself 'cause I thought
I'd live with the traumas like a veteran
So since I started muzzling pathos
Life's a ride I don't pay for, Ajeje Brazorf
I see a torn-up body inside this photo
It just turns into a pile of pixels
My face is blank even without botox
I feel nothing, neither crushed nor sad
I dash home to meme it, I feel late
It's not comedy, it's a Pavlov reflex
I won't stick my heart in somebody else's chest
Empathy's a violent act and I'm short on guts
I choke every emotion and everything glides
Empty synth-android like White Vision
The moon's just a rock that turns gray
And I hope it fades by morning
Mom, I buried pathos in my belly
Now reason is my rottweiler guard dog
And look, my face doesn't wrinkle anymore
It blends in with those on Easter Island
I'm traveling outside the pathosphere
I'm heading out of the pathosphere
Too many asteroids in the pathosphere
They go 'tud, tu-tud, tu-tud, tud, tud'
Mom, I buried pathos in my belly
Now reason is my rottweiler guard dog
And look, my face doesn't wrinkle anymore
It blends in with those on Easter Island
I'm traveling outside the pathosphere
I'm heading out of the pathosphere
Too many asteroids in the pathosphere
They go 'tud, tu-tud, tu-tud, tud, tud'
It's the sound of faith crumbling
I'm silent and still like the Swiss Guard with a halberd
My family was a mountain, Nanga Parbat
The wall collapses and I'm already gasping
To scrape by I smother the rage
I'm the cold one in the gang, Doctor Manhattan
To save my skin I rip the soul off my body
And I'll end up in the Arkham asylum
To shield myself from the hate I read in certain comments
Vomited with two fingers like a drunk
For a sickness that chopped friends and kin to pieces
I needed distance to rebuild the puzzle
I keep my heartbeats hidden in my pocket
And I get anxious, like with dogs at Malpensa
When you lose faith in humanity
In a flash you lose your own humanity too
Mom, I buried pathos in my belly
Now reason is my rottweiler guard dog
And look, my face doesn't wrinkle anymore
It blends in with those on Easter Island
I'm traveling outside the pathosphere
I'm heading out of the pathosphere
Too many asteroids in the pathosphere
They go 'tud, tu-tud, tu-tud, tud, tud'
Mom, I buried pathos in my belly
Now reason is my rottweiler guard dog
And look, my face doesn't wrinkle anymore
It blends in with those on Easter Island
I'm traveling outside the pathosphere
I'm heading out of the pathosphere
Too many asteroids in the pathosphere
They go 'tud, tu-tud, tu-tud, tud, tud'
And now that darkness can't pierce my armor
I can't recognize the light, I've lost my flame
'Cause life has to be faced
I used to laugh till I choked
I used to cry like a fountain
I clap barely brushing my palms from the balcony
Eyes dried up like the Aral Sea
I don't wanna find myself in the graveyard
As if I were marble behind another marble
I'm scared I'm turning automaton, cyborg
But if I'm scared I'm still safe
Mom, pathos is floating back up
It digs in me like a woodworm, a mole
And it dances, a butterfly inside my tummy
Slowly it's giving blood back to a ghost
I wanna go back to the pathosphere
Spend my days in the pathosphere
Even with the hits in the pathosphere
They go 'tud, tu-tud, tu-tud, tud, tud'
