they've got the scientists on short tethers. by all signs, the paper trail's gone cold, if it ever showed. enlist the psychics, they'd know better than to get fooled by broken code. raise your right hand, swear-in a national displacement. kiss-off the past, they've erased it whole... or will we ever know? i let it slide a little, i let it slide a little bit more until i've lost control. invest your cash in complacence. lock all your facts in a box in the basement. if i sigh a little, if i sigh a little bit more, that's just my regret. we've let foundations be set in. we've had relations with media snow. there's a consequence: they'll just keep building until we've been overwhelmed by the architecture and the architect. sometimes i wish we could trust like our grandparents did when they were kids. this is urban myth: “outside they’ve got no heads, run round with panic” when i’m just as scared, thinking about the history we don’t see. consensus, statistics, crash right down on their heads; drowned out by static from all undeclared. 100 million wait and see silently. it’s a little wrecked, and illegitimate. you should have seen it, the cityscape looked ominous. it raised my hair that this is the place we call home. if they can get you asking wrong questions then they don't have to worry about answers.
