Mutilation

Picking trash off the beach
The jagged plastic cuts your feet
Chemicals in bloodstream
Purge the body, purge the body
Training for a sweet release
The missing piece to come
Write a list everyday
Meditate and run
In a self directed rage
Gouged his eyes out on the stage
Mother sees the blood escape
Unthinkable, unthinkable
Training for a sweet release
The missing piece to come
Watch the days wash away
Set a pace and run

Safe and Sound

Dance in clouds, beings of water
Desecrating their altar
Live in fear of waking to the sound
Of gunshots, sirens ravaging the town.
They squeeze life in their jaws and
They seized violence, made it banal
In my apartment, I am safe and sound
Built on people forced under the ground
From my cashiers post
I saw you through the glass
Weightlessly lounging there
I was dying to ask
Have you yet killed a man?
Do you feel pleasure when
Kicking them off the bench?
Shoving them in a van
Through that expensive mask
Can you still smell the fog?
With my boot on your head
Will you beg like a dog?
You will look up and see
People wild and free
People who don’t need you
People finding their peace

Mary I failed
To bring the power on
If you are looking for me
God knows where I’ll be
False prophet reaching for the crown
It was always going to come to this because it is
Air
Water
Sun
Land
Fashion your words
Into a pedestal
Were I not right here with you
God knows what you’d do
Mary I’m scared
Of my own cruelty
Letting resentment run free
Alone with my grief
False prophet reaching for the crown
It was always going to come to this because it is
Air
Water
Sun
Land
