This song is based off the book "The Idiot" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

lyrics

Pacing to an inevitable end,
She's sprinting to get there faster
Because death comes to both who can or cannot wait
So what does it matter anyway?
Life is too sad for a misanthrope,
With all the insertion then desertion.
Men with constant cohesions
And their rank promotions.
On this locomotive from Switzerland to Saint Petersburg
Premonitions from my past come to life in the present
With a black and white daguerreotype,
Her smooth face, with a sharpened tongue and a little less contrast.
Grey flat colors
Juxtapose deep black eyes.
Grey flat colors
I'm hypnotized by her black eyes.
They're asking "Who wants to be a savior?"
"Who for me will be crucified?"
Another idiot falls in love
With a hunger never satisfied.
Another idiot falls in love
With a ghostly painted Christ.
Oh Nastasya, you're a beauty queen,
An ornate Christmas tree.
Dressed up with sparkling jewels on display
But in a dumpster come mid January.
With a dagger he cut you down
So who's the idiot now?
