Face Pollution

Soundgarden · 5 Classic Albums [2012]

I can count it on my fingers

I've got all my reasons not to feel

I'm numb as rigor mortis

Scared by monkey faces

Drowned in shark fins

But I don't feel like feeling

Feeling like you

Now I'm in the mirror

Now it's getting clear

I fear that I'm in you

Now I'm into plastics

Now I've made a mask

It looks like fish heads

But I don't feel like feeling

Feeling like you

Face pollution
