lyrics

can you hear the hiss
of the hollow gears turning
deep in the back of your own mind
the devils and the gods
they grit their spinning
teeth in the machines
of our own lives
as the ghosts in the back
are hollow breathed singing
punk rock odes
and lullabies

oh, mysteries
hollowed in the heart
as unknown depths
deafly depart

in unheard caskets,
temporal hearses
that process through your
unconscious mind
as laughter, laments
and blessings/curses
die in the void
of ignorance's kind

this is for all the voices lost
and histories victims laid by side
this is for all the untold stories
that pulse in your veins
and behind lies

for mysteries
hollowed in the heart
and memories
lost from the start
this is for my great grandmothers
at each turn of the century
this is for all my ancestors
who lived and longed just like me.
