VIRUS LYRICS

1. Investigator

I saw that flickering in the retina of your eye
Such flawless behavior under your perfect blue sky
Walk me through the details, walk me through the lies
Creeping through your voices, seeping through your shine

Crystalline mind, eyes world-blind
Trailing off, revealing contorted truths
Your veins are mapped out, such a frigid world
Like a dead city bombed by your design

2. The Blue Flags Of The Dead

Remembering how you went far through the red grass
Disorientated in the wetlands
The mounds of stones, shivering
You asked the fertile crescent about the blue flags of the dead
The persistent scalding tone of voice
That you dance to and forget

Blind like bones, it seems you derive from stones
Black lights makes your eyes run dry
Makes you swirl away like dying dogs
A greyhound derailment
Through muted cheering
You ask the fertile crescent, with its outer arm
That waves the blue flags of the dead

Delinquent and yearning, you groom yourself smaller
Like a jaded barbarian
Drawn to the funnels of surging departure
...makes your eyes run dry
Makes you swirl away into the grey
Hoisting the blue flags of the dead
