Lose the Apple/ in a Salient Way
Let's lose the the apple
Let's lose the blame
Let's lose the right
Let's lose the name
Let's lose the sin
The guilt and the shame
Let's lose the game
Let's lose the defense
Let the armour decay
Let's lose the fate divine
Lose the plan today
No need to beat these guys
We were cheating anyway
So let's lose the game
Here there was a footprint
But it don't look like that now
Someone's gone and changed it
Altered it somehow
Over there is reason
And over there is right
But over here is envy
Over here is night
Let's lose the arrows
Drop the pearly gates
Let flags fall like apples now
Give the serpents no more bait
Let's lose the fear
That has yet to be named
Let's lose the game
Over there's a shadow
Memories holds like glue
Over there are fingerprints
Hard evidence too
But over here's imagination
Supposition, fabrication
Belief and fear so closely twined
A knot that reason can't unwind
Let's lose our fingers
Hearts reduce to clay
Let's lose our instincts
Let's get down and pray
Old retribution is the
Pep talk for today
Let's lose the game
Let's lose the game
Let's lose the game
IN A SALIENT WAY
By the time this gets to you the language will be nonsense
Words evolving, quick-like
Become efficient as your weapons
Which make today's killings seem labour intensive
And when you shriek at the archaic nature of our
Brutality, know that people were shrieking here
And when you laugh at the voodoo
At the bullshit
And the wasted time
And at the pomp and stupidity of our kings
Know that people were laughing now?
Outside history's closed doors
There's the ongoing chuckle of people laughing and bleeding
And it's all as funny as skin
Let's lose the blame
Let's lose the right
Let's lose the name
Let's lose the sin
The guilt and the shame
Let's lose the game
Let's lose the defense
Let the armour decay
Let's lose the fate divine
Lose the plan today
No need to beat these guys
We were cheating anyway
So let's lose the game
Here there was a footprint
But it don't look like that now
Someone's gone and changed it
Altered it somehow
Over there is reason
And over there is right
But over here is envy
Over here is night
Let's lose the arrows
Drop the pearly gates
Let flags fall like apples now
Give the serpents no more bait
Let's lose the fear
That has yet to be named
Let's lose the game
Over there's a shadow
Memories holds like glue
Over there are fingerprints
Hard evidence too
But over here's imagination
Supposition, fabrication
Belief and fear so closely twined
A knot that reason can't unwind
Let's lose our fingers
Hearts reduce to clay
Let's lose our instincts
Let's get down and pray
Old retribution is the
Pep talk for today
Let's lose the game
Let's lose the game
Let's lose the game
IN A SALIENT WAY
By the time this gets to you the language will be nonsense
Words evolving, quick-like

Which make today's killings seem labour intensive
And when you shriek at the archaic nature of our
Brutality, know that people were shrieking here
And when you laugh at the voodoo

And at the pomp and stupidity of our kings
Know that people were laughing now?
Outside history's closed doors
There's the ongoing chuckle of people laughing and bleeding
And it's all as funny as skin
