Perfume River
Dear Black Puddle
I came to bring the pain
To excavate the plots of dirt
and disease from the earth
To pile hate onto hate
Until the grass can grow again
Four inch folds between the pillow
Rest your weary head and then
The sky cracks open
A round and perfect yolk
8 weeks is too long
But I emerge
Adorned with lilies and medals
Gilded tiger
Strike me down
I am ready
Because...
I go like human crazy in this thick and rotten world
I love it here
And when I look into the lens I know it's meant to be
This was meant to be
A message handed down from god
Protect your pearly gates
Live rounds of thunder
As he peers down through
Red radar sky
Towers quiver
And empires fall
And governments
And girls and the men that hold them at the neck
Unanimously form the sacred oath with sixty lips
To wipe away the sex and slime
That scuttle down from higher ground
Beautiful mob
Jewel Crested Catholic Saints
Drown my name down by the river
Gilded tiger
Strike me down
I am ready
