yes this is the campaign
slithered entrails
in the cargo bay
neutered is the vastness
hallow vacuum check the
oxygen tanks
they hibernate
but have they kissed the ground
pucker up and kiss the asphalt now
tease this amputation
splintered larynx
it has access now
cut away, cut away
send transmission from
the one armed scissor
(play this three times)
banked on memory
mummified circuitry
skin graft machinery
sputnik sickles found in the seats
self-destruct sequence
this station is non-operational
species growing
bubbles in an IV loitering
unknown origin
is this the comfort of being afraid
solar eclipsed
black out the vultures
as they wait
Unknown - unknown
To-do.... no
Unknown - unknown - yeah!
dissect a trillion sighs away
will you get this letter
jagged pulp sliced in my veins
i write to remember
'cause i'm a million miles away
will you get this letter
jagged pulp sliced in my veins
i write to remember
my right to remember
i write to remember
cut away, cut away
cut away, cut away
cut away, cut away
End on Em7no5.
