The Face In The Embryo - The Blood Brothers

I spent seventeen nights

Seventeen nights in the city

Watching the horizon beckon for a buck knife

To bludgeon it’s belly, to end the pregnancy

I’ve spent seventeen nights

Seventeen nights in the city

Watching the face in, the face in the embryo

Pleading for cesarean, traced by fleshy twilight

You can see it all from the rooftops

A threatening birth, a threatening birth

A swollen vagina in the sky

A threatening birth, a threatening birth

You can see it all from the rooftops

A threatening birth, a threatening birth

A swollen vagina in the sky

A threatening birth, a threatening birth

Three shades of blood to soak it’s death bed

Fiery red for the shutdown of the science, science, science bled sun

Viscous black for the sex lives of the science, science, science fed youth

Fiery red for the shutdown of the science, science, science bled sun

Viscous black for the sex lives…

Milk white for the impossible

Vista of the skyline as it shorted out, shorted out, shorted out

And was replaced by a network of newsprint

You can see it all from the rooftops

A threatening birth, a threatening birth

A swollen vagina in the sky

A threatening birth, a threatening birth

So close that you can smell the morphine in it’s veins

So close…
