lyrics

The limit is etched in uneven crayon;
every asinine attempt to resist
a smearing of its edges.
Every bordered color spilling into each other.

The highrise is a tower of rebirth
moulded in glass and wrapped in wire;
struggling to maintain its human face.

The Crown is a tangle of snakes
and the wreath of their tails
is the stitching together of
you and everything else to eternity.

This is the lake, the deep dark everything.
The badgers are the center of its iris;
the trees are the edges of your dream
and the barbed wire of your dancing scotomas.

The drone is a vastness of lack
pulsing impossible presents and futures;
the shriek of its overtones cutting a straight line through
everything outside the flesh.

The mainline is a shimmering incandescent static.
Deep red hysterics wrought
in cast iron letters.
A triumphant display
of every ecstatic perversion.

The city is the acrid scent
and taste of the air.
An oppressive humidity
enveloping and filling out
all space and time.
A synesthetic recollection
and anticipation of
the first and final failures.

This is the dotted line.
It hides in the throat,
nursing a malevolent nausea.
Waiting to vomit your most secret defeats.
It haunts you across
every plane of existence
