Cotopaxi |
When sanskrit was my mother tongue |
Scarabs filled my pillow |
Tarmac strips to pave for them |
And thrones from which to teach |
And in that pulse the future said |
The story had been spun |
You wet your bed so sleep in it Cards can’t make a house |
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs |
We’ll be lucky if we eat tonight |
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs |
That’s why I’ll magnify a hole… |
When light years came |
And light years passed |
Tugging on the brink |
Spoils reported missing |
Put down in its sleep |
Strangled in the background |
Fitted for a mask |
The future won’t believe you |
Past the ransom fast |
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs |
We’ll be lucky if we eat tonight |
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs |
That’s why I’ll magnify a hole… |
Don’t beat around the pulpit |
There is no lost and found |
Where is the devil waiting |
Trying to disguise… |
I’ve seen what you used to look like |
But down here you won’t survive |
I’ve got the weight of half of the world |
Don’t stop dragging the lake |
I won’t come home |
If you can’t come home |
Even if you make a grave with my name |
You better keep on looking for me |
