Exited Delirium (Featuring Justine Ó Gadhra​-​Sharp)

lyrics

If the sun were black today.
If the lights weren’t of any,
Consequence…We would still be here.
Something black in the narrative foreshadowing
An affectation of torture
& change
In the hands of the house of the god i coloured in
One more task to fetishize.
Your absence joins the fray...
No bombs for the masquerade, No god, no guns, no drugs, no lilies here..

& the costume that you wore last night
Did you embellish that too?
Oh…
Nothing more than shadow & skin now
Seven razors for all your serpents relayed
And the guard on the barricades
shouts: “hands up / hands off / hands up / go.”
Tear down the walls.
And we break
Hardwired into this state.
And still
We break.

In an artificial language we change to outrun ourselves. No flowers here
Our great conceit is an orphan now
It's screaming
Another hymn for the vanished string here
One more trip into the black
you can't control this
you can't ever have it back.
no.
Tear down the walls.
And we break
Hardwired into this state.
And still
We break...And fear, our animal selves.
