Lights go down in a hideous motion
Slower than time, in a film-grained closure
Slippery floors of instant shelters
Fading sons and daughters of fat years
Nothing ever melts in this cold
Nothing bursts to live in this hole
Daddy put all those prayers in my mouth
He was never fed up with them
Are you going to love me?
Are you here to trust me again?
I hold belief that you'll guard me
With no right to reverse
We're motherless cubs with no wish for progress
Creatures, trash in silver garments
Every single dawn we greet our owners
Tainting skies with mindless howling
All we need is a bucket of pills
All we want is not to think
Rivers of spring are silent this year
They just come by
Are you going to love me?
Are you here to trust me again?
I hold belief that you'll guard me
With no right to reverse
