Through the Licking Glass
The nature of the Human is the face we cannot see
It's the race nobody wins for those who run are rarely free
We may blossom for a time between a hard place and a rock
but we will never see the Sun until we start to stop the clock
..!.,
Don't believe in luck
It designed our dreams
charming all our strength
down to frozen streams
It's the source of shock
inside every clock
It's why newborn babies scream
From your very first life
you've been under this knife
but you've never seen the blade
When the Stars fall red
because they're already dead
It's the mistake nobody's made
It fed us bits of many tongues
snatched the fire from our lungs
manufactured our traditions
It's the spook inside the books
It's the breeze behind movies
It enforces the Human Condition
It's what's missing from all frames
It's the fence around all games
locking fields inside four walls
I
I remember the clouds that we saw yesterday
clouds chasing airplanes that don't blow away
Airplanes with tails spreading out into mist
they're killing our kids, and we're not even pissed
