lyrics

The Ballad Of K69996 Roma

Oh igneous father
Here I lie
Embroidered in fire
Ten lives high

Smoke hangs in question marks
Torn from Petrolio
Pages like ravens

Scented with gasoline
Wrung from your form
And its cravings and its rages

White leather singeing and
Searing; glass breaking;
All blackened is my gearing

November 2nd, 1975
The last time anyone ever saw you alive.

A prayer to my mother
Here I waste
Shrouded in fire
Sore and debased

Study now closely
The acts of Pelosi -
Confession commissioned.

A twice paid-for youth,
Bought for two different truths
One fusion, one fission

At my worst I’m a hearse
A stoic silver curse
An enabler wading in sleep.

Via Sant Igino Papa
Here I sleep
Enamelled in history,
Ten lives deep.
