lyrics

where are you headed? what's in your way?
caught in the humdrum of living your days?
gamed by protrusion? reeled in by pay?
we've got solutions for wasting away
making a peace with your inner-most selves
bottle your essence, display on the shelves
parcel your being, exhibit the strewed
skewer the tastiest morsels of food

called in for crime
faced with a fine
vengeance in time
lording the line

broken and burdened and confined from voice
grown in the shadows, unleavened by choice
schlepped with the wreckage, been carting the horse
burnt in the cellar and smoked under force
given a sentence with no end in sight
predicate pending on who rules the right
numbered and counted and stacked on the pyre
kindled, illumined, enlightened by fire

led by a smile
cordoned with bile
halved under moon
sung final tune

sure way to survive is to mean it
certain to endure prods and squeezes
platters soaked in wine, ‘tis the season
broken, intertwined, left indecent
believe it
