make room as I rally the horses
saddled up tight and ready to show them
who's gonna teach you how
many will be bleeding when we ride
these here men are the thunder I bring
upon the soulless
ground with the cuts we sing
swift our knives and fluid their waterfall
will seep deep into the sand of your castle
bow down, let it sink in
we make it quick so you won't feel a thing
for the record and the people
a more idiotic idiom:
we're coming to getcha!
shout out, pull ‘m in thin
make it sickening, a speedy spin
why won't we seize this?
no option - bring it on me, I face it
I'll be heavy and room to swallow some
hanging down from the gallows long
live the ones for their purposes
9000 years in furnaces
soon we'll be riding a third one
hope you don't mind us getting the word out
with smooth yet eerie sounds
there's no way to flee
your neck is ours

follow the tracks that lead us back
window for what's out this mirror looking in
two fill the empty seat
hidden in the reeds I'll find you as I speak
we are gently folding cars
already crushed before collision
tickets divide the sum of a warmer under, come
said it, set it on the run
and back to where we're from
bodies close to one
translucent we've become
steel won't be sufficient to blur such haunting bond

all your charm won't be enough
to swing that rod out the same cyan pond
it fed itself full of plastic love
faith or renegade?
he won't be reasoned with
set a trap then sway anew
one loop us and teeth for two
leader of the pack, she-wolf
with his slings he laid
fixed upon its prey
hide the skin by closed mouth grin
trembling legs and tongues therein
it wheezes dust from both your lungs
a feather on the bed
gorged with coronet
so gatherer twining sprigs around her spinal row
this spring it's time to make them blades all shine
a castellated prime for those heartless swines
they will acknowledge my presence, alright
as orion lanterns align
"that's our boy"
once of peers now an astral sign
he stood by his clubbed and guarded mimicry
while she has a feel of quiet certainty

hush now, baby
you're a star now
wish you could be here
how I wish you could be here with me
everything you ever wanted
here inside our blinkers
wait until the day has gone
and no, I won't be far
right where the bluebirds are
we share a branch to snooze
to hear them warble as I do for you

POV L (You)

lit a match onto her face
watched her drift off in its shine
when subtly the smouldering twig of light recalls my fright
a steady view infects our mood
now put on grand display
to show us just how long her crave went out to bathe
after a while we got exiled
then set ‘m ablaze, these sheets now gone
I thought about how many more sticks and stones
once paved these walls before
I don't fuck about and ready to put my bones to good use
isn't that what keeps one warm after the snow?
just a moment, keep quiet
yours on the flip side with a different it's the classy one you used to like - obsessed about
another route now gets on your nerves when played out loud
I apologise, my boy shape tries
we just like to be upfront
but baby dear, won't you keep this to yourself
and leave it shelved to date, please
I am undone, we're uniform - for real
we'll give it a shot or two
neat, I get to keep you to myself
another ✖ till it's done - I do
forgetting some, just like you
an amen won't show you what it feels like
talk of the town, everyone knows the deal:
dear friends no more
your haven won't put you in my shoes
looser her fit, screwing around
everyone knows that cool

power to the rebels with voices so feral
when a horn bellows, spit in funnel
lying in the meadows
wiring under shadow
when a storm meddles, strip then pummel
as I rely so much on trying to tie us to a floating piece of wood
and dry the glue in eyes to look inside
I get it done just for you
lately I don't know how to please right
multiple times it didn't seem to do us good at all
amazing frame that was once so crude
sorry for this, keeping account
where are we going to
I'm in no mood for that game you play
don't measure me going all the way

and now for some poetry raps
a roaring alliance - well
my nuka, you always black
brother of lions, dance
enough with the moaning cats
put in a menagerie
the pride of the pride intact
with little homage he fell
nothing more than lines in motion
you slur the slang without a notion
fucked up all their raw emotions
they used to set your eyes to ocean
fire down this stygian hostage
backlights from the pearls above us
ruler beast was chosen
overshadowed by a cub
when the age of coming arrived
on a throne that grew too tight
four claws into the reign
long live the rex and all his fame
with fears under its mane
caught / ate an RP in the wild
mother has let you go
rise of her newer born
stink for the faithful
"honourable man", they said
sex undecided yet
goodbye my dear fake friends of the night
and who are you now, fave?
where are you, friends out of sight?
marked at birth
the den was turned
cicatrix' heir to flames
merely prince, just like him
start flesh again - well she's allowed
no brother of mine
forever their child, forever a child

Blood Lift

my pumping chambers never skip
so far never lit or slit
our beats now interfere
and together they walk quietly
marching red fills thick
my kick sends from out the core
the count is yours and you are mine
for you weren't there before
these words at birth, a pulse that ticks
when it contracts she screams this lull
two circulations, separate fit
out of phase it has begun
the first to which the mother sings
emits a curious rooting, proud as guns
rewarding gift to shift her gain
resorting who's the loudest one
your blood will hit when the body splits
and spits its purest beauty out at once
the heart will lift and swift her pain
will morph into the full false silence of you

King Into Delight

.
crawling back under
into the night
seek what you hide
jumping fences
may the bells of Rome
lead you back home again
and all is a lie
a pretty shine brightens your eyes
its shield will blind us
seek what you might
forget for a while
mighty in two-dimensional light
in my bed and in my castle
running from what brings it down
green for what tomorrow feeds you
and this time it will eat the crown
we needn't always search for reason
let him be the king he wants
to be is not to look back
kneel before your kingdom falls
if there's but trouble in your dreams, friend
hide them in your silver screen then

let them yell around me
I won't feel when it boils over
done with the hits you throw
their fight ain't mine no more
the garbage on the floor
gone with the bits you load
it's like I don't even know you
hey - we're still those kids who used to smile, remember?
forgot what it was like
get your heart in motion
paced wrong with the wind you blow
lock to lock
turns to right and kick it
you won't see her
