broken, fed, and clothed
and on the road
towards the beds and homes
that you know the most
smoke set in your clothes
and in your bones
alone, in line towards
the modern host
of all your hopes
and it's our live-streaming silo
the newer idol
punish me in full
and free the ghost
I'll pick up and pull
on holy ropes
grab and feel the burn
on the skin of your palms
drop it and return
to the modern pulse
of all your hopes
oh, the cold one, the cold one
oh, the doldrum
oh, the forum, the forum
the cold one
and it's our live streaming silo
the new idol
finally in control
of what we know
central in the world
just to stay afloat
flex like a pope
and then eat your words
a message in a code
the modern ghost
of all our hopes
and all the poems
that they compose
are just like robes
that clothe a living corpse
