lyrics

I felt the kiss of the sun-bleach
I felt the death as it dusted my skin
I saw my arms burn in memory
The backing band falling out of tempo in unison
In desperation for renewal,
I dry-heave the tar straight from my lungs
And when my eyes regained focus
my body took on the shape of the calm of the storm

Flat-footed steps move on impulse,
aching just to dance without metronome,
but broken feet paint the landscape,
my torso the backdrop, a shaky rendition undone
And for what?
Under heat lamps, I boil and burst like the red of the sun
It's all I've ever done

Beckoning light at the mouth of the cave
with the promise of choice, irrefutable option
Twisting and shredded, my carcass ascends
through the teeth of the current, fissured and broken
The breath in my mouth expands, eagerness, hungry
for solvent and golden, the dreams broken up
Like the bread of the gods, blood of wine and all that shit
A life lived in brightness, a shadowless front
Oh, this blue and cold dominates miles unending!
The grid of my bones, scattered, useless demands
Do we watch it all burn or are we hidden from sight,
fucking patiently waiting for invisible land?
Every second is subterfuge, conscious forgotten
Nothing lives tangible
What the fuck is an option?!
And as motion forgets me, I smile in knowing
the locking of fingers from the face in the concrete
