Hoodwink - Anathallo

«So nevermind,…

Someday they will build monuments for us»

People like me walk out the door, we’ll pull you out

Into the streets of far off countries

If I’m ready to go, how could I let you dwell

In delight?

So you see, all things are so bright and spiritual

These seeds are growing in extraordinary colors

I’m convinced.

Even I believe that I have grown something

It’s cased in light

Don’t worry about me

I’m gone

Don’t worry about me

I’m off in a distant place

Where I can be the signifier

Not that which is signified

The referent, convincing us

For you my smile is like «bow, bow, bow, bow»

Out here there is no «under the skin»

And the form of every other

Is hidden under covers

So let us sleep in ease of dark

We couldn’t rest

With this sense of duty hanging off of our chests

Peeled away

We had to get back

From where the grip of our own hands could lift us from

The failures in the eyes of men

To form our scales and weigh our works, good again
