lyrics

Feet cracked and no file too nice
Fall in pieces but the strength within is fine
Enough to wrinkle over smiling eyes
Sorting instances on assembly lines

There’s a dropper of a poison kind
Slowly letting all the air from out the tired
Shades of skin on trails of liquid ice
The burning up of every slave to subsidize

Their demands
On grounded lines
Charging up the columns
Working in defiance
From within their
Metal houses
Not so conductive to change with time
Their lock and code still hold tight
Pushing down the native
Power plants that climb

“Charging up the lines
Bright in the defiance”

Lies enough to lock the strong in bonds
While weaker numbers unrestricted dial the cord
Parting lips again, the soulless roars
No one answers from the coin-fed corps

Oh! As walls grow and throats contract
Their running start is running down
They see the stampede, they scream its name
We have open eyes with tongues ablaze
There are more of us on the way!

In my hands
Here they stay
I hold the suffering
They will not overtake
All the petroglyphs that bleed from tracks they laid

“I’m enough
To close one severed call”

Now we fight for these
Intervals of clarity
More often than before
Opened the floodgates
More vicious to stay high
I don’t want-
Don’t want to be buried alive!

No more!
No quiet rooms
No more memorandums
Left without a say
Each ceiling shattered
From the shock

In our hands
In our hearts
Building up the charge
Their cages fill with sparks
What we’d built for you, reclaimed from lines we carved.
