Implosive - Venerea

I can’t believe all these young kids

That I spy from my window

And I see on the news and in my paper

Every morning it’s the same

They gather on the corner

Waiting there for me

As I see them flashing switchblades

And trading drugs for guns

At least that’s what I think I see

From my window

These walls are moving closer

This floor is falling on me now

This coat of mail’s too heavy for my shoulders to lift

This skin feels translucent

These bones are creaking as I move

Implosive my life

Implosive

Implosive

When I moved here there was a meadow

Right outside my window

But sometime in the seventies they started moving here

From lands I didn’t know existed

And whose names I couldn’t spell

And shot this place to hell

They said on the news today

In the afternoon

On the square this guy

Blew someone’s head off

These walls are moving closer

This floor is falling on me now

This coat of mail’s too heavy for my shoulders to lift

This skin feels translucent

These bones are creaking as I move

Implosive my life

These eyes are showing lines

This tongue is tied around my head

Implosive my life
