ashes of ancients. the nations repainted. the chain gang chatelaine. changing the station. the theme song playing. the anthem of normal. the horrible fanfare. the horns get distorted. on a public announcement. the towns are impounded. where order resounded. cowards towered around it. power line buzzards. surveilling the night. talons in flight. the fake horizons ignite. banality lives where hysteria kills. civilian jungles with malaria pills. animals bleed to buy a star from the night. avenue kids wear a scar like a stripe. send up a signal to the heavenly rescue. when the poison's coming from the person you're next. to. let the voltage of thought pull the plug from the. wound. cos if the soul is a symptom the condition is you. ---. we know its a letterbomb hand me down. this thought is a perjury blindfold. when she crawls from the himalayan highway rain. with her birds of prey and her weapons on the fire. . she?s riding a land slide down to me. she?s cutting the shackles off of me. she?s shaking the dead birds from the trees. she?s takin the only air I breathe. iron lungs and a plate glass sermon. don?t call it death on the installment plan. she pulling the armor from my back. and raking the coals over the tracks. and taking the knife out from the stack. she?s bringing the blood that I had back. she?s coming to see its all a sin. coming to see the sun again. coming to wash it off again. coming to see her self again
