Storm Warning

Closer now closer than we’ve ever been as tyrannies anthem drive us all insane Closer now closer to the grand genocidal of our history this screaming civilian barters a blood transfusion for economy So much closer now the dark slaughterhouse of all our love it’s comedy of save me, sell me, give me, have me, sold me in security is a tax relief to start a family There’s a distant rumble undefinable shuddering through those warning hairs collide the squawking geese of nightmares a breath upon the neck of fear So much closer now closer than we’ve ever been as the glorious dirge of automaton silences everyones scream Closer than we’ve ever been to the inglorious, vainglorious goal A storm warning wails its danger pitch vaccine needles drip, drip by drip by infant drip into the dark age of the human soul into the dead ends deadlock So close now so very close a strangers breath hot upon the neck whispers in a nightmare “ don’t worry, you really don’t have anything to fear ”
