The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Corn Syrup, Coffee, and Bread

Are we that addicted, compliance with corporate shuffle
Moves consensus across the board
Graveyard pageant on radio muffle

A persistent petulant stuffing with chips to dine
Casino house burning like Babylon 
As the Towers detonate again and again

The past frozen inside the future
It just turned over like flesh across the bed
From nightmares of padded walls and prison escape

Turn the dial, switch the nob
The station generates our relative earthquake
Cinders from numb evolution
