Incurably Innocent

  • Pray that your family never forgets
    The arousal from a corpse that fuels your taste
    Blonde to the shoulders, blind to the pill
    He found solace in the act of infection

    A blank tape couldn't remember
    But you can never erase the hurt
    Out in the dial toned distance someone heard

    He keeps a-hiding your photograph
    Of the moment that you needed to emasculate his
    Photograph but you locked up in the trance of a memory
    Photograph of the moment that you needed to emasculate his
    Photograph but you locked up in the trance of a memory
    Marching to the coffins on Franklin Avenue

    Preyed on the anguish, you better run
    Always dragging a finger across his throat
    Man is the fixer to sage the ghosts
    And the faith that awarded his every move

    A blank tape that couldn't remember
    But you can never erase the hurt
    Out in the dial-tone distance someone heard

    He keeps a-hiding your photograph
    Of the moment that you needed to emasculate his
    Photograph, but you locked up in the trance of a memory
    Photograph, of the moment that you needed to emasculate his
    Photograph, but you locked up in the trance of a memory
    Marching to the coffins on Franklin Avenue

    Just float the needles when the rum fits a tremor at hand
    And he can't seem to find his direction home
    Just float the needles when the rum fits a tremor at hand
    And he can't seem to find his direction home

    In a closet she hid in eternity sleep
    With the fear of God at the end of his whip

    He keeps a-hiding your photograph
    Of the moment that you needed to emasculate his
    Photograph, but you locked up in the trance of a memory
    Photograph, of the moment that you needed to emasculate his
    Photograph, but you locked up in the trance of a memory
    Marching to the coffins on Franklin Avenue Writer/s: Antoine Hajjar, Cedric Bixler, Keeley Dixon Davis, Omar Alfredo Rodriguez, Paul Hinojos
