The Emperors New Close

We've much yet to remember More yet to forget Our current state shows we're not There yet Some walk away Some run Butt together We Are One Mother Earth Farther Sun Be gone Begun Big bangs in the head spun We address We decide We digress We divide to provide the mess We dive into the missed We drive in two Identify Abyss Day/Night Black/White We dye the Void Paradise for the psychopath Hell for the paranoid Order and Chaos Lost in a wilderness Poke-her players They play us Pay us with a poison kiss Until Self-employed there is no bliss Fulfilled we come together individually inside Every One is within No ware to hide Nothing without Naked truth No doubt Free from contradiction Letting go of all addiction We attracted the friction We allowed to fuel the flame and gave the shadow a position as yet another personal name that claims to be divine Does the son shine light into the golden shrine Does the moon reflect Sin in the lost bloodline Hidden from view The Sang Rael in Me & You Lost in a mystery Found inside Twisted in the history of egocentric pride until the shadow is lifted and the light floods inside the darkened cave Ill-thoughts create the bars of the imprisoned slave So few see outside the box or beyond the line claiming second-hand opinions while shouting "That's mine." © David Moule/Verso 22/11/15
