Keep The Dog Quiet

My body is a cage This union is cage about a cage about a cage And this, and this town too I'll see you once in a while but I can't be seen with you This place is a narrative mess The floor a tangle of bed sheets and battered sundress The ink has dried in the well The journey once was consequential Now sequential, sequential, sequential, sequential When will you silence your hounds? The eldest sons to the altar of the Eternal Sound Their blood is spilled at the dawn A nation bound to your will, still, the violin plays on Plays its devotional song Once it was, once it was so essential Now sequential, sequential, sequential, sequential --- Keep the Dog Quiet - Owen Pallett
