lyrics

.
~ the crater ~
.

watch as he bends through the heat in the air
in front of a mirror that’s returning his stare
and once in a while, a thick crayon smile
will burst through the bitter place where everything is vile
you follow the grin, as it splits/spills in his hands
as it splits up to the ceiling and then suddenly you’re in

and mother drink from the dirty nipple
milk that’s designed to cripple
Here in the brimming crater

look, smell the darkness splinter
mother let your insects enter
here in the brimming crater
she calls aloud, I hate her

[he’s] wasting his blood
wasting his breath
and with each tired beat they wonder how much time he’s left
she darkens her eyes
and colours her lips
and strides around the crater floor pretending she’s not sick
and down in the well
they scratch at the walls
as he wanders round the crater floor ignoring it all.

She calls aloud I hate her
