- AMPERE/secret hallways
Smoke and mirrors, secret hallways.
Our home, left behind in ruin, became someone's sacred holy land.
And still, searching for the divine, your plague will choke the life from us.
One day we will learn to stand.
No one in front, none above, not quite sure what we've become.
We're all great communicators and all such fucking fakers.
We're doves with golden haloes shot dead in the streets.
And looking up with fear, clouds open wide.
We stand, mouths agape at smoke and mirrors: your fucking lie.
- AMPERE/sleepwalkers
Asleep or awake, eyes opened or closed.
We'll see through boarded windows and cracked concrete.
You and me- all of us- we will be discord, volatile, and explosive.
We will write our own histories.
We'll not let on to faking and plant a thousand lies.
They won't know; no one will know our truth.
We see the logic in revision and practice what we hate- so revel in your contradiction, a wrench in some machine.
- FUNERAL DINER/i was the sword
The first morning, the first time you realize you laid it to rest yourself.
That God died in you and couldn't save you even then.
"Lord come into my life."
These scars that never heal and the clarity that allows you to feel.
Enveloped, like the dead enveloped.
I wanted to change.
As if being discarded were that easy and nights ended up being that empty.
It's so much more free, you were led by no one here.
This place is warm and change is definite.
And I've been stripped down time and time again, and left for gray and the cold.
Your voice changes pitch and blurs, like storms carry a ship.
You couldn't save me even then and I should have known that.
