lyrics

like an arctic fox too fucked too stalked
the tundra lied to us beneath our feet
the snow geese flew just out of reach.
or icarus, his dreams sun-kissed
waxing wings, we took to the sky
but were struck down by god (or the sun in our eyes.)
we’re the whitely-bled as they carry the dead
we stagger with the weight of war
stumbling in want of shore.

our everreaching hands and that they hoped to grasp
separated by the lines that divide our voices from laugh tracks.

like a violent plague— la plus nouvelle vague!—
we stormed the mouths of the innocent
breaking teeth with abandon.
shining long dead stars, still-burning avatars
exciting the songs of hollow chests
as we sing them to death.
we’re a martyred man with a nail through each hand
we suffer, strung up for our father’s pride
hanging spread-eagle to prove we’ve been victimized.

our everreaching hands and that they hoped to grasp
separated by the lines that divide our voices from laugh tracks.

now, with due solemnity, let’s all self-eulogize:
shipwrecked sailors left behind
with blistered hands stretched out in vain
our dreams live on but won’t survive
the shoreline or the tide’s embrace.
her arms, so salty, sting the wounds sustained in the storm.
what a sin.
