Crime is an expression
Surrealist experience, carbon footprint, internet intermission
Finding law in patriarchic defense
Carving wood, carving stone, carving family out of pretense
Sometimes I find deep lines drawn in our faith in man
New visions cause divisions
No religions can mark incisions in the dreaming damned
Canyon sprawl unevenly throughout the promised land
Unplanned creation is relentlessly passed
Because no plane can't exist without the plane crash
No names survive erosion, common dates and times
Headstones and headlines
Blessings sold in printed paper, prayers looped in distant sound
Golden halos rust like statues, faith dissolves where none are crowned
Industry bleeds into oceans
Commotion around a white line on a black ground
Shadow people, fading figures
System shifts in wavering sand
Written law fades faster than the dust upon a severed hand
Point ball pen, black ink, twisted grip
Lives of many, not all, pushed to the left and right
Let a sitting-duck Moses walk through with "Never Surrender" high-tops and lips pulled back tight
Not one hand on the bible but five among children,
scholars, workers, blood family and found bredren
Smoke ascends like rising prayers, met with silence in the sky
Ghosts of progress walk in circles, searching for a dream that died
If no shadow's meant to linger, if no word is built to stay
Then I'll carve my name in echoes, leave my voice to fade away
