Walk with an impure mind
Revelations unkind
Abject denial of the flesh I feel
Endure and make my mark
It's never time to start
believing everything will all work out
Bloody knuckles, empty cavity
Swift disposal, empty cavity
We've blinded ourselves sick
To create room for it
Never arriving when it's needed most
Anticipation burns
Unquenchable we learn
Left holding nothing but the will to live
Bloody knuckles, empty cavity
Swift disposal, empty cavity
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Negative takes it's toll
Constant release and hold
Beware that trust that you instill in me
Beware the trust that you
Beware the trust that you
Beware the trust that I instill in me
Bloody knuckles, empty cavity
Swift disposal, empty cavity
Choke it up
Choke it back
Choke it down
Choke it away
Revelations unkind
Abject denial of the flesh I feel
Endure and make my mark
It's never time to start
believing everything will all work out
Bloody knuckles, empty cavity
Swift disposal, empty cavity
We've blinded ourselves sick
To create room for it
Never arriving when it's needed most
Anticipation burns
Unquenchable we learn
Left holding nothing but the will to live
Bloody knuckles, empty cavity
Swift disposal, empty cavity
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Negative takes it's toll
Constant release and hold
Beware that trust that you instill in me
Beware the trust that you
Beware the trust that you
Beware the trust that I instill in me
Bloody knuckles, empty cavity
Swift disposal, empty cavity
Choke it up
Choke it back
Choke it down
Choke it away

The lyricist/band are actually thinkers.
The lyricist/band are trying to alight a new idea on the listener.
The name of the song, itself, should lend some hints to the "meaning". "Americunt Evolving Into Useless Psychic Garbage". This would mean your "average" american who has "no interest in thinking" and rather "maintain the status quo". I place these memes in "quotes" because they are loaded notions that would require dissertations of their own to explore.
"Walk with an impure mind
Revelations unkind
Abject denial of the flesh I feel"
Christians, Saturday night-sinners, Sunday morning-saints.
Denying the flesh, denying "our nature" for the revelations of scripture.
"Endure and make my mark
It's never time to start
believing everything will all work out"
Persevere but don't step out of line, don't try to exceed your limitations, there's a "grand plan".
"Bloody knuckles, empty cavity
Swift disposal, empty cavity"
Bloody knuckles, grinding hard work, swift disposal, not thinking about what just happened.
Empty cavity, empty "soul", "heart".
"We've blinded ourselves sick
To create room for it
Never arriving when it's needed most
Anticipation burns
Unquenchable we learn
Left holding nothing but the will to live"
The notion of the "will to live" is a Schopenhauerian (German philosopher) concept. Everything has a "will to live" and desires to "make a mark". Nietzsche took this idea, and extended it to the notion of a "will to power". We should all have a will to power, not simply a will to live. Nietzsche decried the "blinding" effect of "faith"/religion to the "will to power".
"Negative takes it's toll
Constant release and hold
Beware that trust that you instill in me"
Here, I believe, he says that we don't allow "nature" to take its course, and to beware anyone who has a "way of life" to "sell" you, even him. Ultimately, you have to rely on your own sense of reality, not others, to be able to thrive.
Now I can happily listen to the whole album, heh.
that's all
Come on kids AMH is bad ass lets get some comments on em even if to just tell me I'm way off and twisting his words into something perverted.
