  • You've got the lot to burn
    A shelf of pig-smothered cries
    Is there a spirit that spits
    Upon the exit of signs?

    Is anybody there? (Spines in a row)
    These steps keep on growing long (spined as an arrow)
    Bayonet trials rust propellers await
    No

    Nobody is heard
    Rowing sheep smiles for the dead
    Nobody is heard
    An antiquated home
    Afloat with engines on mute
    Sui generis ship spined around the yard

    Is anybody there? (Spines in a row)
    These craft only multiply (spined as an arrow)
    At the nape of ruins rust propellers await
    No

    Nobody is heard
    Compass wilting in the wind
    Nobody is heard
    Rowing sheep smile for the dead
    Transoceanic depth in this earth
    In this cenotaph

    Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking
    Counting the toll
    Counting the toll

    You've got the lot to burn
    A shelf of pig-smothered cries
    Is there a spirit that spits
    Upon the exit of signs?

    Is anybody there (spines in a row)
    These steps keep on growing long (spined as an arrow)
    Bayonet trials rust propellers await
    No

    Nobody is heard
    Compass wilting in the wind
    Nobody is heard
    Rowing sheep smile for the dead
    Transoceanic depth in this earth
    In this cenotaph

    Carpal jets
    Hit the ground
    Carpal jets
    Hit the ground
    Carpal jets
    Hit the ground
    Carpal jets
    Hit the ground

    Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking
    Counting the toll
    Counting the toll
    Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking
    Counting the toll
    Counting the toll Writer/s: Cedric Bixler, Omar Rodriguez
