fka Pink Anthro-Apologist Retroscripts a Brief History of the Immediate Future

lyrics

Like household pets with broken necks,
their bodies dance ‘round their heads
while I dream in infinities, the space between

dumb terror and the door rolls over itself,
halves its body, breaks its back,
drags its weight inches--inches at a time,

like no time. I've got time.
I’ll find time.

Holy ghosts stir up raw decrypt
our root, stalks and leaves. Feeding family trees
in poor soil with blood, memories,

and faith—an unfixed concept
but still, perched just out of sight
We’ll comb the undergrowth by [the] swailing fire[‘s] light

And not breathe
nor speak
Close our eyes so we can see
See
We’ll see
