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 will not heel to you You can't 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 unsanitary flames  These amphibian days they will not heel to you You can't defy the defining flaw of your generation  If this is Tartarus, which of us is Echidna which one Arakiel? This bastard conveyance of extinct emotions that we know only in our cells I labor to tempt you out of your cage and into my patrol Until this vessel lands I have decided to ignore all impulse control  These amphibian days they will not heel to you You can't defy the defining flaw of your generation
