The Pure Design of Light - The Mercy Cage

As the shutter trips i see

The neurotic boy inside

On the fringe of this societal itch

The placebo in effect

See the artist interact

Watch the death of all that shines

Watch the traces stolen…

Through the act

The collapse

The facade comes crashing down

Try to contain the fire

Taken on faith’s refrain

& the moment collapses

Wind down/disengage

Turn the page/read between the lies

Replays the same old song

First to cut out

When everything you know is wrong

Through the pure design of light

He develops the masquerade

Still standing on the outside looking in

& it burns

Let it burn

Make it burn

& the facade comes crashing down

& i am last to fall

I succour this release

Got out, dropped the bombs

Lost in the noise of the scree

So long

Say farewell

The lesson will be learned…
