lyrics

‘The Purge’

Once again you light the torch
Poise the motions through the high
Drag the torture past the horse
Like the comets in the sky
The world is ugly as the whore
Morosely mirrored in your mind
Arrange the patterns
Décor the court
Haunt the windows
Pull the blinds

Reprieved, remain, revive
Reprieved, remain, revive

The hairs are weather
The skin is claimed
Cut the ribbons in her name
Another noticed is another lost
In the river
Around the block
Pass the movies
Among the cars
Another singer sings your song
The winds are buried
Behind the wall
Raised, erected
Watch it fall
Reprieved, remain, revive
Reprieved, remain, revive

Scare yourself straight
You purge the violence
To fill the silence
Waiting to find yourself alone again

Wrists are tethered to the vines
The wheels of consequential kinds
Erase the moments you leave inside
Cut the mother
Cut the eyes
Torches flicker
Threaten the dark
Sordid cities
Pierce the tar
Smoke and cherry coloured hearts
Waste in buckets
Counting hours

Reprieved, remain, revive
Reprieved, remain, revive
