22 years live in Cittagazze Brain wave changed From The way you vibrate Fallen authority The rot pervades I can’t thrive I survive Thru the pride parades Sound ringing I can’t see Out limbs First You had needed a Soon breathe The city had Raise me Changed me Pushed me to be Faded Cage me Hate me I Need to be Sated Bandage The hand the bleeds I had to learn quick Grow a hand that feeds I seen a sink ship With the rats with needs They made landfall Seen across the screen A spectre Left them hollow The kids ran free With them tips that hollow We mercantile Deals made big A motto My skin bleed bleed Sane health would follow Found me in the tower of angels Land in the city of magpies X4 Line between Pain and nothing Is not clear young old school Feelin the shame Of stayin here One by one Drop like flies My caged years Tried to break me I’m still too young I stay clear Fallen authority The rot pervades Play the same game with me No thoughts inane Same life cycle Be define insane Magpies thrive Taking in a life of pain Found me in the tower of angels Land in the city of magpies X4 The future face of Fascism Product of past schisms The cuts ain’t subtle The specter haunt me They may want me But I pray out of the rubble The tower of angels Downtown saints know Metatron towers bove sutures Land in the city of magpies World tween worlds Build Bridge to the future
