lyrics

i don’t think that this room can make a sound
to fill the buildings that were placed above the ground

and i was there under the earth
pushing fingers through the dirt
between the glass that traced my veins
i praised remedios again
‘aren’t you scared of what you’ve made
of our kind?’

the empty halls carried carvings of the bleached
neon lights etched with scattered broken teeth

we have seen these waves before
and the slack jawed clouds that roared
to rise and conquer, scatter trees,
strip their arms and then recede
into the beauty of that perfect sea

on the other side of this storm
if there is one
there’s another stirring slow between its knees
winters on the coast
summers in my fevered head
you know how hard that i have found it
just to be

but maybe there’s a plan somewhere with all this mess written down
maybe all the generals were right
and maybe god is so very proud of me
for being terrified like i’m supposed to be
but i’d rather go to hell than your narcissistic dream
i’d rather burn than swim in opiates and creeds
