lyrics

SUNDAY PRAYER, lii

Time & time again,
how can we see the soul of a city
through the shrines of shopped out windows
in the violin hands of the mannequin man?
But a city has no center,
no catchy code you simply enter.
Inside and out and empty sex
with what you see and what you get, I am, I am

Time & time again,
a god of war is first a lover.
Strike your true glass heart against her,
thinking twice you too might shatter,
like a hall of one way windows,
like a wall of one way mirrors.
Black ant arpeggios and chords
fall from the staff, free on the floor I am, I am I am

But you're a birthday
deep with the dayshine.
From dusk to moonbreak,
the dust of keepsakes.

Time & time again, I am, I am
