glue:
i fret that every moment will escape my grasp
that the present will evaporate and disappear into the past
familiarity free of contempt
there’s an understanding that comes from a life together
it means i owe all the happiness in my life to you
each time a part of me breaks off
you’re there holding the glue
paw:
still have the imprint of a paw on my chest
the fur ingrained in fibers
a clarifying stillness
a security in warmth
a phantom limb
that asks for nothing
your paw on my chest
is all I have in mind
upon return, a fragile life
a phantom limb that asks for nothing
but for a place to call home
miles of man made prisons measured as commodity
wrapped in the illusion of once removed
a sudden surge of feeling, a peak inside our failures
staring at an object, exposing the blame
saccharine time and time again
a sudden surge of feeling, a peak inside our failures
so what is all for? filling in boxes and transposing our worth?
is compassion such a chore?
is that smoke creeping in under the door?
expose it, stamp it out
gasp for air, panic and pass out
Totally unique, mind melting band who have gotten progressively better with every release. Uncategorisable, weird blend of styles of punk that shouldn't work but absolutely does. arkless
