Erase (Rub/Out) - The Mercy Cage

Wrapped the meaning in barbed wire again

This subtle black pornography

The horror of the word thru her eyes

She is my new god

New credo

She is the doctrine made new

She is…

Hollowed out by the scene implanted

And she is becoming

Oh she has become

Something rotten in vegas

Danse the danse obscene

Borrows out through the hole

She is the end of things

Melissa flashes the postcard perfect smile

Porn star predatory

She is the wire made real

Pretty young dead things

Debased/removed

Welcome to the big hurt

A permanent stain

The spectacle of

Ruined tv starlets fucking on camera

Never further away

So much further away

Oh you are not your body

You never were

Embrace the strange

Rub out the word

The word

The world

Oh set the nothingness free

Nails back a new form of ignition

Spark it up, strike it back, opens the vein

Trip the shutter

Til it all falls down

Trip the shutter

Til nothing pure remains…
