lyrics

Awake with a howler monkey mind
Screaming vengeance against the world

Slow lightning chases me through the masses
That break their teeth
On the millstones of religion
And the clogged fat of shame

Meanwhile, murder has turned inward
Closely following public guidelines
Emaciated under tents of flesh
Drawn out by familiar hands

A flash of absence
Silences the rattling chains
Everywhere veins shiver with desire
To follow Cain’s shining path

On a monstrous palanquin
Behind drapes of knotted hair
The ruling eyes of fear
Blink out in emergency codes

But my eyes are still
