lyrics

gone missing in the depths of silt and soil
blanketed by the heavy scent of rot,
or an awareness of what was lost.
a memento of collapsing time and space
white lies add up,
and the plot unravels
like ticker tape

a betrayal
wandering spirit
gathering jailers

history in motion
we're due northwest
slice the mother tongue
and wring these hands of blood

noted divisions
on papers red and white
no sense of remorse
even in hindsight

you won't make a martyr out of me

creosote on my hands
and a tongue laced with iron.
my thoughts weigh heavy,
pinned down by a broken heart
for lives never lived

held fast by this patchwork of root and rubble
