Last night the lotus met locusts
Wake up and smell the roses
Sedating dreams hopeless with closeness
To Americana with dismal focus
Meeting literal hocus pockus
(Betwen) lakes where stones skipped
Where the homeless lie boneless
Blackest hearts leave Rome lit
To maintain this different facade
Let's call metropolis the distant mirage
Observe this prison enlarge
Leave despotic systems starved
An idealism fiction discards
Miserys ignorant charade
Melts amongst prism shards
Saw the light resulting instant scars

(Between) life and (between) death
(Between) light and (between) rest
(Between) skies and (between) dirt left
(Between) blue eyes (between) a red dress

Though paradise radiance bares
Edge of forsaken nowheres
Motion ignites causation despairs
Signs of my enslavement flares
Till in reflection the pavement stares
Challenging vagrant prayers
Where revolutionary replacements glares
Autocorrected in this complacent lair
Where deliquents cycle amuk
Suddenly utopian cycles combust
Flesh turns home to defiled dust
Drowning to escape the niles clutch
Reduced to golem with vitals sucked
Here I stand with smiles crushed
I was there for Earth's final dusk
And I'll survive until this vinyl rusts

(Between) life and (between) death
(Between) light and (between) rest
(Between) skies and (between) dirt left
(Between) blue eyes (between) a red dress
