The madman has such a radiant smile

He’s eager to squeeze any soft throat

See, you cannot make a sound

When I press here

 

The forest night bird chirps in the city

Could be the little people, misfortune, death

The ambulance and helicopter chatter

Wild things are a scatter returning home

 

Chiseling the age off a relic

Chafing knuckles to bloody weeping scuffs

Deconstructing the new construct

Priming the body for new paint

 

The flakes fill the trash can like a ditch

Overflowing with candy wrappers and bottles

Haven’t you had enough?

Isn’t this sufficient entertainment?

 

After sunset it is all black and white

The choice is this or that

Suspense is a bright room overrun by shadows

The mystery is known. We are just waiting

 

For the final credits

For the uncovered evidence

For order to be rightfully restored 

For the wound to finally heal
