I live here
lonely and full
a monster of the brightest colors
lost in clouds
I kick their heads down
my carved golden tower
with all my means
my only need
is anything to devour
Temple dogs will clean the blood
the rest will wait till I am done
God is dying but not dead
all are born hungry
only some will be fed

I saw the last dying light bringer out in a barren land
hiding in the form of a snake cradling stones
a brilliant scion in a field of bones and as I passed he sang
I heard they killed
the goose that laid the golden egg
then raised up cockles
and fed on weeds
Good
let them rot

Hey little bug Laika
so quiet, so charming
so little time left down here
our star city statue
Everything is gray and weightless
if I gotta die, I don't wanna do it alone
everything is cold and hopeless
I wanna die but I don't wanna do it alone
Does it all seem so small
where you are from
hey little bug Laika
you're bigger than you know
Everything is totally meaningless
we only look to home

Mankind is only good and kind
because mostly they do nothing
the empty type
the trite and boring line
of just keep on going
In my dreams of nowhere stairs and disconnected rooms
black eyes watch empty racks
in dead mall surveillance zones
You wander lost
the longer hours
on the smallest joys alone
and feel the biting stones
through the thinning soles
of counterfeit hope
In my dreams I am the amberjack
in my deepest place
glowing like the dawn
ready to rise
to lay waste
in my dreams you all are gone
No one is quite so alone as a god
