the broken vase
the ludicrous image and the sun
sentenced to reality
we seek escape in the brothel of the world
where tender youth is bartered, sold
and ultimately destroyed
and they become as us
one with the ultimate sin
of poverty
naked we come and naked we go
but in the meantime we are
hardly more than liars
pimping dead images and the sun
hoping all who see us
become sick with sadness
as they succumb to grief
we cudda been lovers
but we couldn't contend
with the sense of full
responsibility
ultimately only pure strength remains
after the destruction
of the world
