Moist - Silver

The video for Silver by Moist.

Close your eyes
Your Christ has come
The crippled boy that you once knew
The charmed enigma chosen one
With painted lips, skin ripped and torn
Come touch and feel and lick and smell
This envy that I've worn so well
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs in time

So drink me in
Like tainted wine
Come bite down on my sharpened cup
And taste the dreams that numb the mind
A simple word
A harmless glare
That binds me with the thinnest thread
And pins me down to pleasure's bed
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs in time

And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to my chest
We are silver

So shy and poised
With few regrets
A Judas kill, a complex thrill
A memory I won't soon forget
Been washed out clean
Till all runs dry
Come touch and feel and lick and smell
A hurt that only you could sell
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs in time

And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to my breast
We are silver

Trip
Sister I will follow you
This time
Knowing I will follow you
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs in time

And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to your breast
We are silver
Silver

i'm 15 and i think music like this is so much better than the bs that's out now.

[KnViL]

God, the guitarist still makes me cringe at 1:34 to 1:40.

90's "madness" simply overacted.

[myloveispuke]

The spirit of the 90's is alive in portland.

Haha. agreed and well said. I just heard this song on the radio and thought "why did I dislike this so much...it sounds good, then I cam in and watched the video and almost instantly disliked it..thanks to their spastic artsy movements.

I had trouble getting past the actual band to like the music..kind of sad

It's a great song, so desperate, so metaphorical, dark and beautiful. Many of us know what he feels. Thanks for posting the lyrics. I had always thought it was "wheel silver", the wheel that goes round and round, trapping us in our ways, thoughts and habits, unable to break free. I always found the song somewhat disturbing, yet I could associate with it. And heck, David is so totally gorgeous in it (someone had to say it!). Many mixed emotions. Pure art.

[Devirian31]

this was my favourite song of theirs, I wish they were still around. *pouts* brings me back to my teenage years.

[TouchMeTherePlease]

The 90s were so depressing. Why is music so shitty now? Because there was a whole generation of depressed parents that did a shitty job of raising there kids
