Paid in blood, conceived in worry,
sealed our fate and sad our story,
making friends with rage and fury,
we live underground.
Sullied as a stapled navel,
we eat our bread off moldy tables,
keep our knives down by the river,
we live underground.
We hang our hats on power lines,
we hold our piss till late at night,
we feed and fuck by candlelight.
We live underground.
Bleeding simple hearts we are reborn.
Rotting meat envelops all our bones.
No evil tenet does promote
the knife that slits all of our throats.
As sure to board this sinking boat as we live underground.
We shovel deep and far and wide.
Our Bible stack, our domicile
will never fall into decline.
We live underground.
One who birthed us, we forgive her,
burn our lungs and drown our livers,
but by reason we’re delivered.
We live underground.
But I can stick three fingers into my lapels as I am dragged off kicking, screaming, eating sticks, cut back from greeting God, his Son and Spirit, beat and bled I’m wrenching the machine for weaving time and blood and space, profaned in names of every living serpent squirming, murder, thievery we’re learning. We live underground.
