Amphibian Days

In the pen with the mastiffs bred to fight rats

In the bowels of the arena

I received a kiss with a promise that produced

Deformities of happiness

The laughter there is viscous

It leaves a residue down the legs of the chairs

Since you lost the will to hear

They get your attention grabbing fistfuls of your hair

These amphibian days they won't appeal to you

You can defy the defining flaw

Of your generation

The heavens vomited the dawn upon us

As we learned how to occupy photographs

She descended a stairway composed of silk

And flicked her cigarette

As I sweat through my black hex

I saw you two climax in spasms through a frosted window

You both came in electronics and anthemic bursts

Of a santiary flame

These amphibian days they won't appeal to you

You can defy the defining flaw

Of your generation

If this is dodderous which one of us is it kidding now?

Which one aracheo?

This bastard conveyance of extinct emotions

That we know only in ourselves

I labor to tempt you out of your cage

And into my betrothed

Until this vessel lands I have decided to ignore

All impulse control

These amphibian days they won't appeal to you

You can defy the defining flaw

Of your generation
