bleeding and bewildered
\nthe fire swans flips
\nbefore the clock rises
\nlady death laughs
\nas another blue morning arrives
\nunmasked and undecided
\nand another passive predator
\nlies down to sleep forever<\/p>\n
docile and almost delirious
\nwe are dealt dogmatic despotism
\nin deceptive dosages
\nas we stand poised
\nin parallel possession
\npretending not to tremble
\nas ignorant experts
\nin white coats and grey shoes
\ndictate another false destiny<\/p>\n
overworked and overpriced
\ntime slows down
\nand laughing slaves
\nsacrifice their illusions
\nto the mission of furious lyrics<\/p>\n
like gypsies lost in junkyards
\nof delicious depression
\nwe consume metaphors as medicine
\nplundering wet dreams
\nas we wait for impaired incantations
\nto deliver us from this
\nunderrated and broken television story<\/p>\n
at three am
\nthe true sedition
\nof this infinite condition
\nis a pirate manifestation
\nseeking to remove us from
\nthis immortal machinery
\nand the tyranny of quiet imagery<\/p>\n
