lyrics

Flowers of evil
Little worlds of ball and twine
Housed in pockets
Snakes are rivers to unwind
And they built shelters
At the feet of tidal waves
Angry tides to unburden all their wishes
To divide

Where space is just a void to fill
And action is a bitter pill
You like the way it looks on paper
But not the way it sounds when you say it
Still you say it

Blood is rushing and I can hear it all too well
Like the echo of a bursting pistol shell
I don’t believe in triviality
except for now
but to unburden all their wishes is to doubt
