Sitting in the Fire
They brought me in, to see the half of me,
Sitting in the Fire...
Never sought to compare but then all in filth is fair
I’m burning in the fire...
Never thought I could pray, until I lost my babe,
I threw her in the fire...
I don’t want to be this man that I am
I’m sitting in the fire
I don’t wish to do all of these things that I do
I’m sitting in the fire.

Poised as Robots
Boy: get up, for we are poised to be as little robots
Flashing thoughtfully.
Am I hungry? Are you still feeling sad? What is happening? We still have the fears we had.
And there is no valediction
There is no real selection
There is no real expectations I make
And the wind won’t cry direction
So use your cruel solution
There is no one conclusion to make
The slam and battle of bodies once as flesh
Against the numbers and buildings poisonous
Boy: wake up, will you stand up or will you lie?
Poised as robots and no flashes to spot you by.
And there is no valediction
There is no real selection
There is no real expectations I make
And the wind won’t cry direction
So use your cruel solution
There is no one conclusion to make
