her body was an outpost for ideas that didnt work a nation failed and broken invaded and then burnt and the crumbles and the ashes that settled in her purse were the ruins of an empire and the people we once were we were limping up towards lake street and she motioned towards the church said the hardest thing they ask me is amanda does it hurt cause its not pain it s more like pressure on the edges of my eyes i see scales and bloody feathers when i look into the lights and my password is be honest and my network is evolved and i cant guarantee ill pick up every time that you call aint it spooky when they all go away aint it strange when they just disappear it really sucks getting sick on the bus it s even worse when the teenagers cheer aint it funny how we all get by but not the way that makes us laugh the lust burns off into handshakes and hugs in the end it comes down to the cash i was calling from the carpark when they kicked in the door they pulled the pistols from the holsters put the people on the floor it s not the fear it s the frustration getting sick of being scared they pulled your princess to her feet made a handle from her hair i was thinking about the progress how a change is gonna come i was hearing the announcements i was running from the guns desperation fueled the dancers theres a sadness in the sex they lingered over dinners and then ran out on the check and our safeword is still stop it and our style is self involved and i cant guarantee ill pick up every time that you call aint it something how the people switch partners yeah you just got to wait your turn its really hard getting kicked in the heart its even worse watching big buildings burn aint it strange how it all fades to black just when it starts to feel really nice i was banging round your party trying to locate all the love in the lights and the speed it crested early and then it ran its course i showered and got ready and started on my chores it was rushing through my blood it was coming from my pores and my heart was charging forward and i threw up off the porch we were limping up on lake street and she motioned towards the church she said the hardest question ever is amanda does it hurt its not the pain it s just a pressure but in some ways that s much worse the ruins of an empire and the people we once were if revolution is really coming then we all need to be well so maybe its just best if we both take care of ourselves
