from the castle ruins
to the stacked pipes
and tunneled waters
of metropolis
we alone
—family in darkness
layers of india ink
hide useless machines
pressing country skin city bone
into amalgamation
hotwired airfield wings
hovering over abandoned
fairgrounds
covered in chains
and cotton candy
enslaved
sweetened
—so the pill goes down with ease
this is our home
this is where we live
life is zenith
future is chaos

from the castle ruins
to the stacked pipes
and tunneled waters
of metropolis
we alone
—family in darkness
layers of india ink
hide useless machines
pressing country skin city bone
into amalgamation
hotwired airfield wings
hovering over abandoned
fairgrounds
covered in chains
and cotton candy
enslaved
sweetened
—so the pill goes down with ease
this is our home
this is where we live
life is zenith
future is chaos
