Born inside the gates of the family
Hardened by a Roman machinery
Cast among the building sites
The coiling wires, the shots collected
Called out in the wake of a lottery
Held inside the family gathering
Mirrored beams and doglegs stretch
The wandering a**ociation
Murmurs in the dark confessional
And it rides along the road ephemeral
As in animal life
Rusting in the shade of the batteries
Hanging from a rope in the gallery
Pacing down the balance beam of half-remembered holidays
No rush of light, no sign of belonging
No joy in building, love in the finishing
Chasing down an anodyne and half-reflected radiance
To hide below the ancient barricade
In chambers like the rooms a swallow made
For an animal life
Charging down the maw of the action
I wanna come close, I wanna come closer
I held your name inside my mouth through all the days of wandering
But called out from the mouth of a billion
Cast away like dogs from the shelter
A shepherd towing armor plates
That once collected radiance
And searching at the light's perimeter
The half-remembered wild interior
Of an animal life
Hardened by a Roman machinery
Cast among the building sites
The coiling wires, the shots collected
Called out in the wake of a lottery
Held inside the family gathering
Mirrored beams and doglegs stretch
The wandering a**ociation
Murmurs in the dark confessional
And it rides along the road ephemeral
As in animal life
Rusting in the shade of the batteries
Hanging from a rope in the gallery
Pacing down the balance beam of half-remembered holidays
No rush of light, no sign of belonging
No joy in building, love in the finishing
Chasing down an anodyne and half-reflected radiance
To hide below the ancient barricade
In chambers like the rooms a swallow made
For an animal life
Charging down the maw of the action
I wanna come close, I wanna come closer
I held your name inside my mouth through all the days of wandering
But called out from the mouth of a billion
Cast away like dogs from the shelter
A shepherd towing armor plates
That once collected radiance
And searching at the light's perimeter
The half-remembered wild interior
Of an animal life
