in a time
of savagery
i ran faster
than all else
who's catching up to me?
who's coming up from behind?
who's holding my leg up?
who's helping me climb?
there's a proletarian and she's
tired out from it all and she has
one hundred things to do and
no time to do it in
so she's putting it on paper
but it isn't enough. now she's
onto something better and
forgetting the paper at home.

love is building a building
a building on fire
building a tower
a tall tin tower
in the terrible woods
taking the form of a question:
repeat, repeat
delete
the world passes away
the world passes away
the world passes away
but that tower’s there in the woods
without a flash of terror,
steely and cool
without a flash of terror,
steely and cool

you open the door
and you step inside
(or you begin to step inside)
(or have you have already stepped inside)
(or is the door already open)
the year is 1945 and the Soviets have just taken Berlin
"Good luck, boys," you say
"Try not to fuck this whole thing up."
but before you can say another word
you're taken back inside
(or were you already back inside?)
(or will you begin to be put back inside)
(or will you have already have been back inside?
from before this moment even started?)
the year is no longer 1945
the year is 1880
and the pullman strikers are getting shot
the year is 1917
and Vladmir Lenin is staring down the barrel of a gun
how much time do you have left?
how much time before you done it?
how much time do you have left?
how much time before you done it?
how much time do you have left?
how much time before you done it?
how much time do you have left?
how much time before
before you
before you
before you
