Plugging in to the terrarium
Tangles of copper going everywhere
Left to swim bricks tied to our shins
A billion opinions radiate the air
Words pour like steam from a kettle
Invading conversations, seeding the clouds
Flock of pigeons fighting over crumbs
We say the sorts of things we wouldn’t out loud
All the mind can conceive or dare to provoke
For all of those who believe sunsets look better through smoke
Climbing in to the terrarium
A feast of fetishes to peruse
What made you come is now leaving you numb
Your taste in lust just becomes more shrewd
Lack of flesh behind those bandages
A bloody mess hidden by a gauze
A staunch quest for the vain and grotesque
It’s all yours if you can afford
All the mind can conceive or dare to provoke
For all of those who believe sunsets look better through smoke
For everyone who’s quick to disempower and shun
Remember history is written by who won
