Never Was Never Were

Holy lights of the high rise

The city groans with each new life

Angels in the carpark

Buried under the tarmac

Centre stage, no I prefer to be

Behind the curtain

A blade of light flirting

With the dust of the damned

And I pray for the dark to linger

I never was one for it

I'd dress for dead and play pretend

I never was, never was,

Like I never was

Our ancestors are ringing

A cold call from the beginning

To bring another into this

What the hell were you thinking?

But maybe one day,

They will also hide

From the light of the lord

In the dust of the damned

And I pray for the dark to linger

I never was one for it

I'd dress for dead and play pretend

we never were, never were

Like we never were

Where our dead pets our sleeping

And the ghosts of wood lice are creeping

Where no wind blows, no river flows

No chemicals interact,

Will something of you find me there?
