lyrics

bricks and mortar
bone to bone
a staircase to launch
arrows and tongues
the bells right out and escort the sun down

the tastes overlap
with the sands of broken glass
languages crash
between ribs and columns of blood

dislocated tongues trace fault lines to the sky
the clouds entertain our desires to put form to time

blood pulls at meridians
veins in knots around our history
collapsing walls of memory
endlessly in entropy
stacked in broken prisms
carved from our etymology
dance through eternity
tumble down the spiral stairs
into the dust of centuries
hitching posts for the sun
