The Iconoclast

Your sky falls forever
A black heart endeavor
The game of laissez-faire
Aces in the air
Your eyes stare forever
In the cold dry hereafter
Hiding an affair
I swore was never there
It's over and under and over and under

In the city that never sleeps
You are the creature that never wakes
I thought you were someone else

Scent of attrition
Lean in to listen
"Resurrect the dead
on Jupiter" she said
Time's game is wasting
Worldwide lambasting
A billion miles away
A deadly bird of prey
Flies over and under and over

Force led my tongue every time
Why are the words nonsense?
