Parading from Ate by Danger Painters

Parading (Lyrics by Kevin Lay)

Looking up
At dislocating horizons
Skinning my knees
Falling down for salvation
Digging for texture
Like miners
Dealing for god

Gazing down
For ground that is viable
For devotional dancing
In that published maze
Reflecting my portrait
Like sand
In my passway

Accruing air
Short-circuiting carbon
Damning the army
I wanna know who’s in charge
Besides rushing imposters
Chewing to belong

Fishing hole
Assembling the system
Infinite unions
In a banquet of lumps

The fuckable land
As if you designed it
The frightening contract
We’d never revive
The threatening swim
The flail of promotion
Well who includes who
And what can you lend
In the end.
