lyrics

TILL WE EAT OUT THE MOON

In the sewage plaza there is no sun light matter
We work by “candelabras”
We stir them in the batter
I breathe in puffs of basalt
The workers share my sorrow
In hopes that someday they will be free to see tomorrow bloom
Locked up in a cesspool tomb
A coprolite room
Locked up till we eat out the moon
I run the pressure strainer that held the bones of Renda
She was my only sister
I begged her to surrender
But she refused to adhere
Now she is just a label
A tube of powdered substance among the mixing table
Our senses are numbed by the lasers
(Invisible pins sent from Mizar 5!)
We work beyond nature’s restrictions
A zombie who’s only conviction is THOUGHT!
Iz THOUGHT!
My mind’s the only organ that still retains it’s pieces
The other bits of me are somebody else’s nieces
A lonely hole to be in but I can see the faces
The memories I have are blocking out all traces of this gloom
Locked up in a cesspool tomb
A coprolite room
Locked up till we eat out the moon
Till we eat out the mooooooon?
Till we eat out the moon?
The moon?
