I saw it standing next to me
a face afloat in ecstasy
I watched it turn and tumble to the ground
the crowd was shouting
ringing bells
"unleash on us the hounds of hell!"
a fallen tale we love to tell ourselves
into the flames I will return
just close my eyes and feel it burn
my tricoloured world melting down
I saw it standing next to me
avert my eyes like I can’t see
a world awaiting to unfold
this chemical smell of laundry
electric sky breaks over me
while birds sing out their alto hymns
into the grave I will return
I'll close my eyes and take my turn
in the disappearing game
I saw it standing next to me
a face afloat in ecstasy
I watched it turn and tumble to the ground
broken by inheritance
like Stringed lights on a wind blown fence
twisted blinking off and on
nothing here makes sense to me
everyone hates everything
I try to relate
what's the use
the novelty train keeps moving
huffing down the track again
soon it will be at your door
into the flames I will return
just close my eyes and feel it burn
my tricolored world melting down
my tricolored world melting down
my tricolored world is melting down…
