GREAT APES LYRICS

"Arms Of Catastrophe"

thirteen with strained seams
hidden wounds open wide
we hit dad’s stash at the eighth grade dance
the bliss of a kiss - peel skin, drink it in
the new
found confidence of recklessness and romance

with friends boundaries bend
dig dim to ascend
we found a way to never feel bad again
black need slow seethes
consumed and naïve
great escapes collapsing into dead ends

some hazy amnesia - we’ll call it fun
tying off when we come undone
snake oil fixes breaking tearing
we could care less about who’s caring

destroyer - venom revelry
a death dance - the arms of catastrophe
eraser - an anesthetic blockade
a needle - quack toxic surgery to hack out the memory

we bleed to the pleas of mutes bearing truth
you’ll get no recourse from a refugee that’s half-dead
amiss in the drift - without name and shameless
this lightless altar - a hospital bed

spit up in the alley - drenched in disease
through the S.F. fog comes clarity
calm in the rubble of quaking city
compassion curing - sweet Saint Pity

destroyer - venom revelry
a death dance - the arms of catastrophe
eraser - an anesthetic blockade
a needle - quack toxic surgery to hack out the memory
