lyrics

Remission-

And he balled up as it was easier to take blows
Curled up with only his extremes exposed
Covering up all that was soft and weak
All except his acerbic tongue and cheek


Curled up and he’s returned back to birth
Step back from what the pain and fears unearth
A seeming cataclysm to his fractured mind
It chips at his defenses but he’s hard to find


And the monkeys flung their shit and drained his well
And he sighed and continued to erect his illustrious shell
An elusive thing its brittle sharp and weak
Until completely whole until completely reaped

And they gathered round as the rite neared it’s peak
And they grinned and bared their teeth finally ready to kill the weak
And they crowed round to witness the spectacle
That how the twist the knife that’s how they take the toll

Curled up and he’s returned back to birth
Step back from what the pain and fears unearth
A seeming cataclysm to his fractured mind
It chips at his defenses but he’s hard to find


Words and stones all the same almost ethereal
Time remains in the game it remains in the game

It remains in the game
