about

From the self-titled album The Lucid.

lyrics

Cedar Bonsai

crushin’ metal car frame crime
pistons pulsing metal rhymes
when all the world can see you die
another leader crucified, but

you don't blink at the passing time
no, you don't blink

It moves so slow
when you watch It
when you taunt It
try to flaunt It
seem to want It

It moves so fast
overcast spells are cast
clouds burst under attack
It's wings split against the spotless glass
maiden flight of the Golden Calf

My head flips back with a belly laugh
