| What is it to be a man skin tone? |
| Silkworm? |
| Cortisone? |
| I don’t hear alarm bells,
|
| those aren’t alarm bells
|
| We recede inside ourselves, inside our shells, what you might call hells inside
|
| as well, it shares your cell
|
| You never spent more than a couple of breaths just with yourself (without your
|
| props)
|
| Hmm, how to tell you what you are… a clue is left in the soles of your feet!
|
| «I love your outfit, is it real meat?» |
| But I’ve seen you walking around without
|
| it
|
| If they cry a little longer, if they die a little harder, anytime,
|
| anyway same things just keep happening
|
| Hit the ground a little harder, live the lie a little longer, anytime, in a way,
|
| same things just keep happening
|
| The end of the world show is a re-run
|
| Grave challenge of mind, no balance inspired, words that violate rhyme,
|
| poisoned nation switching station, digesting this time after time,
|
| line to line. |
| Sine waves stymie the bored tick of the brain, dissolve away,
|
| drain the multi circuit vein by vein. |
| Just another blood river running down
|
| every street. |
| Souls spraying open holes in the crossfire
|
| Cowgirls riding on a string of pearls; |
| Orpheus into the underworld
|
| Into the valley of living dead with the night vision, ghosts bathed in the
|
| infrared
|
| Sight specific, monolithic bathed in the glow that melts the permafrost,
|
| were you hurt? |
| Were you lost? |
| Were you trampled in the race to the trough?
|
| If they cry a little longer, if they die a little harder, anytime,
|
| anyway same things just keep happening
|
| Hit the ground a little harder, live the lie a little longer, anytime, in a way,
|
| same things just keep happening
|
| The end of the world show is a re-run
|
| Brute force, par for the course, territory brought us nothing but wars,
|
| race hate took us to the Holocaust and now we’re out of time, out of breath,
|
| pluck a little tune on the lyre to death
|
| With a chorus that glows like embers or emeralds, diamonds, paraphernalia,
|
| generals in four-star regalia
|
| Every little inch we paid in blood, paid in full, now you want to change the
|
| rules?
|
| Skyline sunset, pink like Crylon, too many positive ions, you look pretty high
|
| and nigh on perfect in your Nylons
|
| Hit the ground a little harder, live the lie a little longer, anytime, in a way,
|
| same things just keep happening
|
| If you get what’s happening, dolls and lazy mannequins, I don’t hear alarm
|
| bells, that’s the children singing
|
| The end of the world show is a re-run |
