lyrics

i am haunted at night in the streets of anywhere
but find myself tempted in my throes of terror
with pride comes fear of that which we have repressed
dream-stalked, gun cocked, feigning strength nonetheless.

what a dream.
i’d run but i’m trapped by the sister of death—
there’s no escaping these things i’d rather forget:
the dogs, the dead, the moat well-fed.
the dogs again. oh god.

i am taunted at night; enemies of foreign flesh
bear down with guile and malice about their breath
i’ve tried in vain to fight these macabre visions
but once sun meets street, i’m wholly victim.

i swim the moat to the manner of tortured redress,
past the pale and floating, acquiescent:
mother! father! why the water?!
mother! father! please!

i would dive back in the water for them.
“you’ll never save the dead! you’ll never save the dead!”
i dive back in the water again and feast upon the dead
like a pack of feral fucking dogs
like dogs barking at gods as they tear at their flesh
with insatiable claws, i scream:
“hey predator!”
“yeah?!”
“fuck you! fuck you! hey pride!”
“yeah?”
“fuck you too.”
