The Palpable Illusion Lyrics - Officer Negative

Do I help you 

Find a sense of fulfillment 

Avoid pain, 

Help you make it through the day 

You demand that your 

Internal needs be met 

You make me 

A part of your rituals 

That feed 

To dehumanize me 

Your actions 

Dehumanize me 

Illusive image 

That you can control 

That you can own 

Or fulfill anytime 

The palpable illusion 

Of intimacy 

But no substance 

Intrusively using me 

As if I have no emotions 

And no soul 

You're not emotionally involved 

Or committed to me 

(x2) 

You seek your rest in my pain 

I'm your avoidance of intimacy 

You touch and want to be touched 

But you're left only with self 

Fulfill unmet needs 

Without consideration 

Without considering 

How I feel 

Aggressively degrading 

Using as an object 

You're not emotionally involved 

Or committed to me (x2) 

You seek your rest in my pain 

I'm your avoidance of intimacy 

You touch and want to be touched 

But you're left only with self
