Demands From the Clocktower

What makes you so dependent

On the trinkets in the store?...

I see belief suspended,

And it’s stretching more and more…

You read the Daily Panic

That is funneled through the pipes

It accentuates your high pursuits,

From old age to the next life…

I need eye to eye,

Skin to skin..

Necessities

You toss in the bin!…

I need mouth to mouth,

Cheek to cheek…

Heart language

Is the one I speak…

Your status is the sacred cow,

It reflects in all you buy…

Behind closed doors, in the here and now

You will wait for when pigs will fly

When the real you is revealed to all

In it’s shameful, sorry state…

With one fin revealed…hidden jaws of steel,

You’re the shark that guards your lake…

I need eye to eye,

Skin to skin..

Necessities

You toss in the bin!…

I need mouth to mouth,

Cheek to cheek…

Heart language

Is the one I speak…

Your the judge and the defendant

In this parody of whims…

Can you see me leave your courtroom

When the outlooks growing dim?…

I cannot stomach the torture

That the sanitized endure…

They’ve been backed into a corner

By these tickets they’ve procured…

I need eye to eye,

Skin to skin..

Necessities

You toss in the bin!…

I need mouth to mouth,

Cheek to cheek…

Heart language

Is the one I speak…
