Simulation Swarm

I tried to tell you,

Didn’t know how to stay

You believe she can see through

Cutting at the silent clay

A relief, beckon deep blue

Fettered in the magnet sun

Eat the gun as it feeds you

Spitting up the oxygen

Once again

Once again

Once again,

Empty horses

Gallop through the violet door

Follow red, crooked courses

Shadows on the moonlit floor

O my stars

Winged creatures gathering in silken height

Like the last human teachers

Once again,

We must bleed new

Even as the hours shake

Crystal blood like a dream true

A ripple in the wound and wake

You believe, I believe too

That you are the river of light

Who I love that I cling to

In the belly of the empty night

From the 31st floor

Of the simulation swarm

With the drone of fluorescence

Flicker, fever, fill the form

With a warm gush

Now I wanna touch

Like we never could before

I’d fly to you tomorrow I’m not

Fighting in this war

I wanna drop my arms and take your arms

And walk you to the shore

I remember building an energy shield

In your room, like a temple,

Swallows in the windless field

Very thin, with your mother

Tall as a pale green tree

Very wild, bright as winter

Rising with a prism key

And a child to deliver

Tangled in the blood and vine

The first little angel

Little Andy, soft in your newborn skin

Only one, little Andy, will you return again

I believe we can renew

And you could be my brother

Once again, fall asleep with our backs against each other

You believe, I believe too

That you are the river of light who I love

That I sing to in the belly of the empty night

From the 31st floor

Of the simulation swarm

With the drone of fluorescence

Flicker, fever, fill the form

With a warm gush

Now I wanna touch

Like we never could before

I’d fly to you tomorrow I’m not

Fighting in this war

I wanna drop my arms and take your arms

And walk you to the shore

I’d fly to you tomorrow I’m not

Fighting in this war

I wanna drop my arms

And take your arms
