Sweettooth (Word4Word)

lyrics

Messy blessings unto our sweet tooth
Candy can dazzle our frazzled truth
Soft floating seedlings ungrounded growing youth
Folly of holy visions, blind fools

Hold fast and foment
those knotted rhymes but nothing will reveal.
our intimate ties
Unless you release these ropes and lies

No prior context, but we exist
Happily naive to troubles and tropes
The sham is shit, we’re so conditioned
Actors, lacking the script and scope

Putting in time spent all too aural
Our forms wiggle dissolve in figments
Scarcely held above such shimmering
sugarcane wings spread so thin

In flightless revelry our intertwining
touches of baked confusion sweets
Risen, like timing ripe for the reapers feast
Midwife dance with the hanged man sidling

Forty children feigning laughter
For the king who’s laughing now
Riddles twisted humors in to fates
Those old daemons insatiably orate

Inscrutable confections
oozing space dust and marmalade
onto our swollen
tongues, tied.
