DELICIOUS APE

(album: DISCO4 :: PART I - 2020)

Barely whispered
Don't forget me now
See the morning
Oil-painted dawn

Nobody left
Pure fire
We built an idol
To burn the bodies down

Delicious ape, you are undelicious ape
Comic, hairy, gross, childish arms
Banging out of time on garbage drums
We tremble before your talentlessness
Naming yourself after a god
And that god is the god of undelicious apes

Forbear us
Sick and devout
Seek forgiveness
In oil-painted fire

You'll remember me now
Covered in blood
Until the rain came down
Letting me go
Soaked in blood
Some never learn of the radiant dawn

You'll remember me now
Choking and burning
In the rays of the dawn

Stop haunting me
It was long ago
Burnt candles
Pure fire
Let me go
