How much time has passed Since the ***** in my armour last Which stops flow coming The space between sleepers Slowing their moments For the sake of a sorrowed spark Making his mark on the pavement How can these folk forsake the blatant laments Of a pauper in king’s garments crying for change? My gloat fails the throat Instead of truth I sooth what is meant to be Yet my soothing words fall to entropy before I manifest a pardon For this lack of gratitude for art's garden That has befallen the concrete cobbled empire Of these glorified mongers of time They give it away like infinite wisdom Slipping from their grasp with every second Spent in line looking forward to their freedom Instead of seizing it in their hands Primal roar to get past that meiopy In the name of her majesty the queer Peering out from her crystal mountain With her blue blood and scaled skull Tax checking the pardoned fortnight That expensive foresight they can ill afford Painted on their contours so beautiful I try to drag it out But like atlas, my groans They bounce about and fall short Of merchants' wails for biased expression Promoting depression of consciousness Spontaneous mess I create to shake the slumber But grow humbler at my failure to save Every single one of them Young and old Mothers and fathers With the twirk of a wrist How children see more and through them we will work With their wide open hearts lies the start of the new world So let us show them how Then the universe will be never ending Much like this thankless task

This Thankless Task
How much time has passed Since the ***** in my armour last Which stops flow coming The space between sleepers Slowing their moments For the sake of a sorrowed spark Making his mark on the pavement How can these folk forsake the blatant laments Of a pauper in king’s garments crying for change? My gloat fails the throat Instead of truth I sooth what is meant to be Yet my soothing words fall to entropy before I manifest a pardon For this lack of gratitude for art's garden That has befallen the concrete cobbled empire Of these glorified mongers of time They give it away like infinite wisdom Slipping from their grasp with every second Spent in line looking forward to their freedom Instead of seizing it in their hands Primal roar to get past that meiopy In the name of her majesty the queer Peering out from her crystal mountain With her blue blood and scaled skull Tax checking the pardoned fortnight That expensive foresight they can ill afford Painted on their contours so beautiful I try to drag it out But like atlas, my groans They bounce about and fall short Of merchants' wails for biased expression Promoting depression of consciousness Spontaneous mess I create to shake the slumber But grow humbler at my failure to save Every single one of them Young and old Mothers and fathers With the twirk of a wrist How children see more and through them we will work With their wide open hearts lies the start of the new world So let us show them how Then the universe will be never ending Much like this thankless task
