Worm

(album: Pears - 2020)

Worship of a war
No comrades anymore
Left alone to stew
Black and white turns black and blue
You beat the steed
And it beats you
If you're convinced
Then I'll convince me too

I left a space
For a 5'9 shadow
Harsh light deemed ill-advised
Obsolete
We're gearing up
For the big boy battle
Searing in the cell
Phone lights of effigies

You fucking worm
Callous is concern
I will die on a pulpit
A legacy of harm

You can't teach the desire
Some deeper wealth symposium
Unfettered flame
Rise higher
War is love
And war is yet to come

Short on funds
We're bankrupt in our hearts
It feels like it's coming together
When things for another
Are falling apart

A breach in the choir
A sleeper cell
That punched the snooze
Fairweather
Feeding the fire
Dead to rights
With nothing left to lose

You can't teach the desire
Some deeper wealth symposium
Unfettered flame
Rise higher

War is yet to come
