Five Zeroes

I don't have all the answers
 I always tell em
 In a permanent state of antebellum
 Silent space of land where hell meets heaven
 Nothing grows and nothing prospers people leave and we forget em
 They were dark days yes
 And a dark haze fell over us
 Arcade of past shames and they chauffeur us
 From one to the next one
 Nothing to show for us
 In all our existences the winnings never go to us
 No
 The winnings never go to us
 And the dirge was electric
 They found her dead on both sides, blank with speed
 Corpse hounds baying in a now empty space
 For all of your suffering & all of your knowing
 I thought that the title gave the answer away...
 So much for the flowers here
 Choked black on stems, all our histories arrayed
 For all the chemistry in our version of the truth.
 Like demonology, no penance here
 To honour your saints delayed
 And on the bleeding edge we prey...
 Another Five Zeroes Down
 Sorry
 No heroes here today
 You said
 "You CAN shut it out you know"
 "But it keeps intruding..."
 An artefact from another time & place
 When the trail went cold
 Like Evelyn you were beautiful then
 And in that version of the elegy we grow old
 Though we're old in this one too
 This is no small defence
 When boys keep slipping absent friends await
 Two plagues are monumental
 Its ruinous you see
 Breaks thru two wires thin
 Confirms the past, dissolves the maw
 Screaming
 Threes and famines in this hole that we used to lay
 And Radiation! it follows
 As logic dictates that we might break
 Under the weight of this delay
 With the strain of
 Another
 Five Zeroes Down
 Sorry
 No heroes here today
 I scoured the wastes
 After the world fell. And you were there
 But you were charred & black
 And cold. And nothing of substance...
 They walk on like an army now
 Dusty bones
 It's hurting how? Nobody's known
 Flash a smile of blackened gum
 What you think you will become
 You will become
 In a concrete prison
 God's television
 Numb the mind to crave division
 In idol eyes lies blind religion
 But your idol lies you're not forgiven
 Bad decision
 Got a stench to wash
 Your earth is worthless hurt, endless grot
 It's time to rot
 Body shakes and rocks
 Now you're breaking down but so fucking what
 And if I say it myself it was a sight to see
 So if I'm my God then I will die for me
 And Radiation! it follows
 As logic dictates that we might break
 Under the weight of this delay
 With the strain of
 Another
 Five Zeroes Down
 Sorry
