LYRICS (Otis Mensah):
I used toy with time
and burnt a whole season chasing ghosts
the teenage where I became the sofa
and fell inside a squirm of colour
my television daydreams,
the world around me plummets
outside is the black swan that swarms the concrete coast
my tortured soul was city-size
asleep there at night where I
saunter slow
dancing on the razor blade edge greener grass of home
trapped in the fraught fraud of screw faces
inside holy hoodies lies
the softest tones
ask the pastor bro
the wrath was pentecostal
where yoke yellows meet flesh pinks
if you know you know
the surly lows that only the slurring hills and altar holds
postcodes broken into fingertips
the plastic gun vogue
spoke send me a shoulder
wrapped in adult plosives
the stench was pungent mask the hole
the hurt that glows purple, sunshine and prose
there’s not always an orchestras to to be pulled from every nook that hums a note
but I saw bright unfurling and finches rose
from within the throes of
brittle bones.
