lyrics

Varicose Vein Brain (Music: Bailey; Lyrics: Speeding/Bailey)

I’ve got a varicose vein in my brain
I look at you – and notice – that you have the same
Cerebral cortex – stuck on maximum
Frontal lobes pumping – like a forger’s bellows

Tenacious nerve-endings planning their stratagem (x2)

Don’t double down, don’t double down
Are you conscious of the consequences now?

I’ve got a varicose vein in my brain
I feel it stir – and trigger – the ultimate migraine
Carotid artery – strained to the nth
Neurological pathways – clinging to existence

Emotional relays – surviving at any length (X2)

Solo

I’ve got a varicose vein in my brain
Spitefully crass – and ticking – (life-force down the drain)
Centralized diodes – shorting out sinews
Desperate voices calling out – for mercy and justice

The mind singeing hemorrhage – relentlessly continues (X2)

I’ve got a varicose vein in my brain (x8)
