lyrics

Halo, broken, broken, down
Halo, broken, shards of glass on the ground

The church house road leads
back to the tent.
Where the ring leader barks to an empty seat.
The muse is a Djinn,
with vapors of jasmine.
& the priests are all wooden,
roots digging,
roots pulling.
The crash of the market & the crash of the chain
As a doll stitched together,
a thousand times,
pulls the strings.
Death falls behind, until he's up ahead.
The card house folds,
Kings & Queens, trapped inside.
Rat ta tat tat.
The rat plays the march.
The sun.
The moon.
A red balloon.
