about

Ballad of traffic

lyrics

Crash

Truth be told there’s quite the fight here
Undercurrents night after night
after night in
melting roads there’s
no sense stalling
what’s foretold

You crash,
everybody lands now

Hold hands edge back
never cross blind
faith will tell you
overtake but
build a human chain of glances
countdown, hardline
all it takes

You crash
everybody lands down
You crash
everybody lands

Close the door and lock the windows.
Notify your next of kin.
Cower under a patchwork blanket.
Never ever let light in.

Truth be told I like the debris
Severed hands and mangled feet
Folded rusted metal cages
Symbols of our earth’s defeat
