I think that New York is a new model for the new concentration camp, where the camp has been built by the inmates themselves, and the inmates are the guards, and they have this pride in this thing they built, they built their own prison, so they exist in a state of schizophrenia where they are the both guards and prisoners, and as a result they no longer have, having been lobotomized, the capacity to leave the prison they made or to even see it as a prison.

promise me

i have a story to tell
so i'm tapping out the words
on the walls of my cell
dare i hope you will draw near me?
dare i dream that you'll hear me?
no
i know the cruel truth all too well

the lines are all jammed
with faulty connections
the maps are all crammed
with confusing directions
they've taught me to fear
to the point where it's clear
my prison's my own best protection

i have just one thing to say
i don't know how you escaped
but don't let them capture you again
don't let them trap you in this game you'll never win

i was a good little girl
did everything they told me to do in this world
i slept on the floor
got my food through the door
and my guards never heard a rude word

i can't tell good guys from bad guys
i can't tell wild truths from civil lies
my captors ooze charm
as they inflict their harm
gazing down on my face with blinding eyes

i have just one thing to say
i don't know how you escaped
but don't let them capture you again
don't let them trap you in their tricks without end

when you're broken the shocks strike too deep
so i slip deep into drugged dreamless sleep
i lay on the floor
get my food through the door
turn my face to the wall when i weep

truth is the world's upside down
they've put crowns on the clowns
ground the gods in the ground
when we've all been abused
no one knows false from true
and the answers will never be found

i have just one thing to say
i don't know how you escaped
but don't let them capture you again
don't let them trap you in the clever lies they spin

a dusty wind blows
through the bars of my window
the birds outside shriek
in raucous crescendo
they say i'm insane
say i make up my pain
say my captors are really my friends

oh they helped me to quarry the stones
pound out the mortar
from my ancestors' bones
i swept the dirt floor
put a bolt on the door
built my own cold stone home
where i'll die all alone

i have just one thing to say
i don't know how you escaped
but don't let them capture you again
don't let them trap you in this game nobody wins

promise me...
promise me...
don't let them capture you
don't let them trap you
promise me
you'll stay free
forever
forever
forever

thank you

[omgudontknow]

Elusive it seems Like the substance of dream Tis a whisper hereA soft answer there Then dissipates like vaporLike fire on paper Yet stillness teaches of Thy way to eternal love That which is formless and true Residing as a seed within you May the waters of peace be Upon thee Falling like the spring of rain Gently erasing sorrows stain And that all would be new For ye have made it thruTo this day now; blessed be That which is infinite inside thee And it is so.
