letra de votive lives - witheren
living vicariously
through my tv screen
watching death unfold
wars and crowd-control
no, my breath won’t hold:
i know how this one ends
but for a precious little moment then…
i’m a landmine, a sleeper agent
biding my time and scoping the moment
a heckler with a cosh
in the angry audience
of this worldwide sh-t show
as the mob at the gates grows, we’re
not all here for the same reason
some cut and run, after taking what they can
some set to die, for a ticket to the other side
some sacrifice all for they still care
and believe the smallest life stripped bare
is worth more than…
more than money
more than fame
more than power
more than more of the same
sh-t cut to fit
an outdated altar
where we deposit
our souls on offer
fl!cker in the wind
like votive candles
lay what we gained
what we panhandle
at the feet of rebranded gods
or cast down wishing wells
k!lling ourselves
for trinkets, traditions
fashions and icons
heroes and legends
crackdowns, rebellions
inst-tutions
civilisations
cultures, empires
or the next generation of
n0bels and n0bles
p-ssionate leaders
spiritual shareholders
and smart computers
but our lives mean so much more
than all the treasures you can h–rd
expect no loyalty…
i’ll always be untrue to thee
not just a teenage phase
not just an empty phrase
however forlorn
i signed no contract, swore no oath
the day that i was born
this is my non-contribution
enjoy its lack of return on investment
for a precious little moment…
