about

Self awareness and its dual citybuilding/suicidal impulse! Necropolis!!!

lyrics

Dissheveled, livid, rushing through the storm
As Night Fell Fleeing From Surveillance
The watermark predicts its scam
Shrapenel called the absolute
(when I use a word...)
Sleeping Not, dreamed at the mountain foot
(It means JUST what I choose it to mean!)
He saw an eye, a great eye in the night
Open and staring at him in the gloom
I GET NEWS FIRST, it said
(A Better Life through containment!)
and fled through space and darkness
(The World is a sort of human zoo...)
No look behind pale silent watchful
Staring at each sound
No rest no sleep until he attained the stand
where chlorine washes that which since was assured
(inhabited by raped mutilated and murdered females)
Flouride castle moat or alligators buoyant like wax beans
walls that height guards night and day with t-shirt cannons, children's sizes
With inflictions GLAMORIZE THE SELF DESTRUCTION AS REBELLION
taught to navigate the scaffolding of THE crumbling Shlong
palace anti-siege barbecue echoes attend (VERY stable home..)
Bait to capture the preordained decision to heighten barricades
Paces spirits tower windows condescend from rotten peekholes (impenetrability)
wishbone crack turning Lich head
Here may we rest for this is the world's end
Order giver order taker order giver order taker order giver order taker...
Academy awards in aquarium fort knox goldfish networth
Bleach teeth mannikin salesman
the polevault tuition standard admission)
Paintchip History - a steep trail of sterile blight
Diffuse to loop bureaus circles of hell market niche cells (incarnations)
PARODY VORTEX ITS AIMLESS RECOIL
SYSTEM DIVIDE RATIONALIZE RATION
Bigshot Clavicle Duct Tape barnacle
the self same eye on the horizon's enterprises
Bathes in blood basins in Forbidden Rooms
Thought scorched earth chariot (Sold Separately)
Darwin mottoes mark of cannibals build cages build summer homes Around gasoline ponds (upward mobility)
And they spread wide the floating canvas roof
The eagles nest on the big top is a dive bar just to jump off
(And made it fast to fix it down with lead)
(I get news first)

The face flawed at dependable asphault learned its cause from the flaws flung (and made a wall of bronze)
rang ripples through elevator speakers nest for lightning (unless we made a circle vast of towers)
Reminders of the sleepers in garments of shatter
(So terrible that nothing dare draw near)

Build me a city with a citadel
Build me a city high and close it fast
That eye I see it still!


Heavily armed against change
(Keep the outside out, trap the inside in!)
A fountain of gargoyles one track
Of pineal medusa bank full of beached whales
(they plucked the eyes out of whoever passed, and hurled at even arrows to the stars)

LIVE IN A POTHOLE concrete vascetomy
Tollbooth in all gutters gauge running water
Driving to the sea wrestle with insomnia
(And every block was clamped with iron chains
it seemed a city made for hell)

All relations mediated by cold limbs Precarious mass medication
Suit of armor breaking by its own overbearance
The drawbridge cut into king sized death beds in garments of shatter
Toddlers increase the blanket while solidiers increase the bandit
Atlantis Refugees Burlap Incubator
Stockholm Symptomatic Stocks in Homes Diploma Napkin
Lawsuit sculpt paranoia implicating direction
(I will live beneath the earth)
Functional extended cities to keep units isolated
(I will see nothing)
Primary earnings walled
victim victor vice verse
(Will be seen of none)
Tie weights to the ephemeral as if a double crossing .....
In aggressively armed Icarian fantasy
important ASSHOLE with recognized attention for that (victim/victor/vice/verse)
(he went down alone into the vault)
(but when he sat so ghostlike in his chair..)

//Burps deployed as goalees
tsunami nooses matress (trimester magic carpet)
stag wears masquera
ladybug divorce treadmill
many yawns fistfight between plexi-glass charades
a bib tarps a lighthouse
nightstick amid flagpole
cartwheel roulette, dartboard diaphragm fireside giveaway
hedonist keystrokes bellyache mistress tadpole
Lease up
(Sound ridiculous? Well it isn't)
Serfs deprived of community so the defensive concept conveyed and proofed
SHOE tyranny the physically massive kingdom principles Office Gum
for cities strongarm birth contracts for world war entertainment
artillery at spaces loopholes
generated are of pulsed hypotheticals
the slogans require passphrases (The eye was in the tomb)
top GateKempt coordinate serialized etiquette
//worried to exercise the misled
(Magnificent, Fantastic, Great Walls...)
Collapse Klepto Contraband Constipated Constantine
Vagabonds See Smoke Rise
The Dance Between
And secret morning Light
The Dance Between
The Eye was In The Tomb!!!
