my head holds high

works in this machine

simply part of the mechanism

the river, the ravine

nuclear powered and water propelled

tell me what i already know

tell me what i want to forget

tell me the stories

we once wrote out in the sky

carved into the face of the stars

with bloody fists

and glowing eyes

did you ever find yourself

over the bridge between here

and the hell between the bookshelves

smoking like love

loving like smoke

burning like paralysis

crescendo into atmosphere

you're nothing here

but molecular fascination

but consecutive frustration

you're a fixation

and a blatant disregard for all the laws

i set in place

to break against the face

of authoritarian adolescence

wake up wake up

w a k e u p y o u ' r e a n um b e r a n d a t i m e

somewhere here in my head

somewhere here far from my base

somewhere i can hide

somewhere i am more than these lights

brand your mind

tell me something
