there’s nothing to save you no hope, no god, no home, nowhere to go there’s nothing to save you just below the granite we suffer out of sight choking on the fumes of someone’s better life brutal in aesthetic a noxious perma-night monolithic shrieking the rhythm of our life beating 'cross the concrete as progress rushes by we nest amongst the footings of the gilded high rise shadows always growing they watch us in the night chattering and hungry just to take another life something's always creeping somewhere out of sight something in the air doesn't feel right someone's always running waken in fright fire dancing frantic to the screaming in the night bearing down like a juggernaut street sweepers coming in hot as those chainsaw teeth, lock in place 'round our neck like a fucking noose hands up, heads down shield your eyes terror blaring from the speakers shaking out my teeth stagger-standing like a foal as our ruptured ears bleed line em up, line em up, they say as we're dragged across the concrete towering, high above they stare with beacon-eyes bent low, face to face snapping jaws make a wicked smile surveying every speck every pore, every drop of sweat and they laugh, and they laugh as they’re lapping up our fear streetsweeper kicked in gear a monolith of grinding teeth chewing up an engine block like its naught but rotting meat and that juggernaut of hate and steel eyes us for its next meal stretching out a split second infinite as we stare in fear knelt before their cruel god as it slowly wanders near face to face with the churning sea kaleidoscope-like metal teeth and we gaze all gorgon-eyed at that horrid maw cascades of fluid light, bisect the night the eerie dance all strained and odd as they waltz the molotov it slides so sensual shivering screams where it goes and we run as swift and silent as falling night running blind through the labyrinth, deep below sound fractures all scattershot, am i alone howls ahead, jaws behind near and far, all the time and I laugh, and I laugh as I slowly lose my mind time stretches through the centuries, questing for light withering to a hollow shade, imprisoned in night fade from view, we fade from view rotting through the decades as we fade from view
