Black Holes

Sticks and stones you broke no bones
 And I'll cover the tracks with a hastening sound
 Plucking red feathers and pulling red skin
 Sucking the poison out, in
 The monster, the terror
 Sugar glazed black holes
 They only add up on the screen
 Restless fingers grasping to reach
 Allowed in the ocean but never the beach
 You showed me a spaceship but forgot to teach
 Mercury vines
 Come and go with the tides
 They ask not for vengeance
 Run thicker than blood
 Right along with the mud in the veins
 So should we be sealing the deal?
 Sticks and stones you broke no bones
 And I'll cover the tracks with a hastening sound
 No remorse you had no choice
 And I'll cover the cracks with those self-made fresh scars
 Pushing the boulder, transforming, I swim
 Giving my best to the fool on a whim
 The hanged man, the tower
 Ill-conceived lovers bound to their work on the wheel
 Speaking by fire and sleeping by creed
 Always in power but never in need
 The ruins of Atlantis
 Generations grieving the seed
 A misguided prophet messiah of lies
 Left us with knots where there should be ties
 The smell of old sweat and the buzzing of flies
 And you're so full of chemicals you glow in the dark
 If I claw the distance behind your smile
 Show guts and infiltrate your mind
 Dismantle your atoms and rebuild my right
 Strings don't align
 They curve up in my spine
 They serve no utility
 Left taking comfort in her ability
 To always see the natural possibility
 And gracefully choosing the odd probability
 The ones and the threes
 In my spine and my knees
 It's all there encrypted in genes
 Along with the frenzy along with the tears
 Sticks and stones you broke no bones
 And I'll cover the tracks with a hastening sound
 No remorse you had no choice
 And I'll cover the cracks with those self-made fresh scars
