with miles to drive   on a cerebral highway   where it leads our hearts to   that empire where all unfolds      we drag our knees   through these badlands   and we hurt ourselves   just to feel anything      in the mecca of us   we all glow forever      with cobwebbed eyes   an affair with the puppets   you've seemed to have forgotten   and now you sleep with the rats all alone      i held you so warm   like a brother   a part of you in a part of me so spoiled   i cut you off like a cancer      in the mecca of us   we all glow forever      its simple   how you complete my core   so potent in your eyes   to move mountains   to burn skies      we've broken   our arms and throats   for our portraits   demons or not   it doesn't make a difference to me   im so tired of screaming      in the mecca of us   we all glow forever
