and it’s breaking, it retreats and disbands
nothing more than clay to us
reality’s afraid of us
watch it go, giving up the ghost of a chance
darling, we are dangerous
reality’s afraid of us

i am your shade in the morning, you are my shadow at dusk
and the music our footprints write is permanent, more permanent than sound

the future will be borderless and red and queer and bold
for i was born to make my kind extinct

i didn’t do it today cos i don’t want you to have to deal with the cops
and i didn’t do it today cos i don’t want you to think that love just stops

don’t go believing that here and now is how it’s gonna stay
(i been thinkin’ of another way, i been gettin’ rid of yesterday)
don’t go believing a hand that holds itself is a fist
(you’ve always been an optimist, remember you’ve always been an optimist)

and a wounded reptile called americait’s more, not less, it’s limitless and more…

to the lighthouse that faithfully whispers the fishermen starboard
to the children whose days number more than every flower in europe
to the nations that charter their florid colonial highways
to the towers erected by contractors named after kingsgod will bury you, nature will bury you
to the gunmen who guard against all of the starving:
god will bury you, nature will bury you
to the screens and the radios where words turn into weapons:
god will bury you, nature will bury you
to the terrified rich man: god will bury you
to the killer of animals: nature will bury youto the worship of justice, the reliance on reason, and the fire in your eyes…
god will bury you, nature will bury you, time will bury your bones unseen
total and absolute, infinite amplitude, till all the black is ripe and green
god will bury you, nature will bury you, time will bury your bones unseen
total and absolute, infinite amplitude, till all the black is ripe and green
and i’m not angry, i’m not sad, i’m just stating the fact
i’m not angry, i’m not sad, i’m just stating the fact
i’m not angry, i’m not sad, i’m just stating the fact that…
god will bury you, nature will bury you
god will bury you, nature will bury you
god will bury you, nature will bury you
god will bury you, nature will bury you
Seeming — The Burial (Madness & Extinction, 2014)
a nation in flames at the heat of our breathlessness
the churches collapse as i’m rewriting genesis
on the skin of your throat, divine and degenerate
that’s how i want you, that’s how i want you
to bring me oblivion, make me unrecognized
render me savage, render me weaponized
i want you with lunacy, a head full of daffodils
a list of demands, and the bombing of capitols
that’s how i want you: radically
upside down and over my knee
i can be you and you can be me
anarchy
when i want you, and i always want you, i want you radically
radicallywhen i want you, and i always want you, i want you radically
radically
the ways that i’ll have you are global emergency
the shape of your mouth is crashing the currency
so call the police in and try us for treason
but that’s how i want you, that’s how i want you
to pull me with gravity, fracture and fascinate
ruin all history, casually assassinate
inciting the strange, becoming the animal
we’ll eat the whole planet to prove we are cannibals
that’s how i want you: radically
three hundred sixty degrees
every kiss a fatality, a galaxy
when i want you, and i always want you
i want you radically
radicallywhen i want you, and i always want you
i want you radically
radically
(and i always want you…)
