The Mercy Cage & Shine Brida - Five Zeroes (feat. Kirine)

I don't have all the answers
I always tell em
In a permanent state of antebellum
Silent space of land where hell meets heaven
Nothing grows and nothing prospers people leave and we forget em
They were dark days yes
And a dark haze fell over us
Arcade of past shames and they chauffeur us
From one to the next one
Nothing to show for us
In all our existences the winnings never go to us
No
The winnings never go to us
And the dirge was electric
They found her dead on both sides, blank with speed
Corpse hounds baying in a now empty space
For all of your suffering & all of your knowing
I thought that the title gave the answer away...
So much for the flowers here
Choked black on stems, all our histories arrayed
For all the chemistry in our version of the truth.
Like demonology, no penance here
To honour your saints delayed
And on the bleeding edge we prey...
Another Five Zeroes Down
Sorry
No heroes here today
You said
"You CAN shut it out you know"
"But it keeps intruding..."
An artefact from another time & place
When the trail went cold
Like Evelyn you were beautiful then
And in that version of the elegy we grow old
Though we're old in this one too
This is no small defence
When boys keep slipping absent friends await
Two plagues are monumental
Its ruinous you see
Breaks thru two wires thin
Confirms the past, dissolves the maw
Screaming
Threes and famines in this hole that we used to lay
And Radiation! it follows
As logic dictates that we might break
Under the weight of this delay
With the strain of
Another
Five Zeroes Down
Sorry
No heroes here today
I scoured the wastes
After the world fell. And you were there
But you were charred & black
And cold. And nothing of substance...
They walk on like an army now
Dusty bones
It's hurting how? Nobody's known
Flash a smile of blackened gum
What you think you will become
You will become
In a concrete prison
God's television
Numb the mind to crave division
In idol eyes lies blind religion
But your idol lies you're not forgiven
Bad decision
Got a stench to wash
Your earth is worthless hurt, endless grot
It's time to rot
Body shakes and rocks
Now you're breaking down but so fucking what
And if I say it myself it was a sight to see
So if I'm my God then I will die for me
And Radiation! it follows
As logic dictates that we might break
Under the weight of this delay
With the strain of
Another
Five Zeroes Down
Sorry
No heroes here today
