lyrics

Harsher than mellow. Caustic and hollow. Watching old VHS rips of SALO. The world is a hand reaching out for apologies in the trees like a swallow. Prodigiously callow to keep the brain fallow. Looking behind because tomorrow is now, though. Looking ahead because the past is a fallacy of devotion. Free from emotion, he is the closest that you can be to impulsive. Reflect on life and the thought is repulsive. Stay in one spot because disgust is propulsive. Pushed, still smoking, back into a holster. Green is the color of the grey sky. These are the days to make time. Speak through the art of a great lie. Bite those lips for the eighth time. Pulled to the nub by decisions rushed to partition lust before a missing touch. Your visions must be growing sour. Skip the powder, he’s picking flowers. The minutes soak on into hours, counting dreams like counting dowers. Counting down to the aches and frowns; might break them down, straight shake and brown. Drastic contacts…call then call back…sacks and all that rise and fall back into the earth, the leaves, the green. Know what it's worth but unsure what it means. Green is the color of the grey sky. These are the days to make time. Speak through the art of a great lie easily tuned to erase minds.
