We are the lilies growing out of your landfills,
sound from sound separated at birth.
In the dark serrated hands caress
the well-to-do financial analysts.
I'm not afraid of the dark:
the silence just embarrasses me;
the silence comes, encompasses me,
sleeping underneath the coma tree.
We got the skills to pay for the pills.
We got the skills to pay for the refills.
We got the coin to purse your lips.
We got the quills to dip in your oil spills.
Severance is leverage.
Locked in time we pulsate like
twins on the astroturf,
buying out the burnin' up.
Partners in the dance crime.
