The Faint: "Victim Convenience" Lyrics

I took two steps out of the door

and I got two steps away

and then i turned

the screen was calling



(I could not resist)



you could find a bead of light

you can cause the outside window to dull

pause until the evening turns

and it's a.m. routine job or the pills



we're all on cable I.V. drips

let red cells pixelate us

constant help needed to unhook

call it "victim convenience"



I took two steps out of the room

and I stepped back toward the door

and tried again

a conversation



(and it went like this)



"I could talk for hours to you"

"I could watch your mouth and eyes look shut"

the controller's lost and I'd

rather commit "power" than hear this out



we're all on cable I.V. drips

let red cells pixelate us

constant help needed to unhook

call it "victim convenience"
