lyrics

Empty hours, warning shot acid showers
Black-face power lines wrapped in English ivy
Burned umbra viscous 3-D moon beam
Stained hands, snipped shrubs, crew-cut
Urbanite intrigue

How could you forget
It wasn’t only my undoing, friend
Laughing off the cuff at these mistakes
About to take – as of late

Make a shadow to smash this ceiling
Broken glass welcome mat, snake-skin mask
Twenty time goodbye in two minutes flat
Hollow gourd heart, vacant end full start
Overflowed river trance, feverish cold showere
Fear of negative

Yes, came here from out of nowhere
For the connection, lover
No expiration date ever set
As of yet – no regret
