Lyrics
Perseus, your cursiveness claims the things you cannot say
Fighting for the fraying fates and forging forth your false foreplay
Disguised in words you don’t understand
Thoughts perverse and actions bland
So distill the quill and pop the pill and speak your mind on truth decay
Perseus, your trite circus crushes rollers costing back
Silly sons that syncopate their southern soldiers’ sliding back
Battling beasts that unmake scars
Take your seat amongst the stars
Shooting down the soothing sound, observe the traitors on the rack
Slip on your sandals to stomp out the crowds
Raise up your shield, reflect smiles from frowns
Put on your helmet to mute out the sound
The death of the voters is the odor of the gorgon you found
You found
You found
The death of the voters is the odor of the gorgon you found
