Lyrics
paralyzed and content
in a dream of control
this is laughter on a leash
like a rabid dog in amnesia
obsession makes the knife speak backwards…
blind eyes as narcotics
isn’t it just a laughing matter?
word for word to silence
twitching eyes
lost in fixation to the end
step after step to chance
and still…
i promise to kiss you
with the tongue of burden
just another mute in the sewer
of the promises of the womb
grace in a deadlock circle
tongue-tied holy songs
devout to a summit:
home to a body…
isn’t it just a laughing matter?
one last fix
and then it’s over
what falls through
hides behind
words have holes
and so do you
and still i promise to kiss you
with the tongue of burden
the world stutters the story
from a remote mouth
palsied, drooling
gnashing its teeth:
it’s just the matter of a child
…that needs to dry its cheeks
and deny its guilt
…that is not the reason
and not its end
