like a rock
like a planet
like a fucking atom bomb
i'll remain unperturbed
by the joy and the madness
that i encounter everywhere i turn
i've seen it all along
in books and magazines
like a twitch before dying
like a pornographic scene
there's a flower behind the window
there's an ugly laughing man
like a hummingbird in silence
like the blood on my door
it's a generator
like the blood on my door
wash me clean and i will run
until i reach the shore
i've known it all along
like the bone under my skin
like actors in a photograph
like paper in the wind
there's a hammer by the window
there's a knife on the floor
like turbines in darkness
like the blood on my door
it's a generator
like the blood on my door
wash me clean and i will run
until i reach the shore
