Mae’r ddrws ar glô Ond da ni’n glywed eich sibryda Yn sôn eto am fradychu’r cenedl Wel da’ ni ddim eisio’ch cacen A’ch breuddwydion aristocrataidd Mae’ch celwyddau’n droi ni’n fyddar Felly Boris runs to scotland Yn rhedeg I achub yr undeb Fel Mae e’n rhedeg o ei gyfrifoldeb I redeg gwlad ar fin hollti Gyda’r gan mil cyrff A’r gwaed ar ei fysedd Digon mawr, digon cyfoethog A wedi cael digon O eich esgeulustod Eich casineb a’ch trachwant Felly ni fyddwn yn cysgu Dan y jac dim mwy Yn fuan bydd cymru’n rydd O’r ymerodraeth rhwyg

Bodybags heave at full weight Praying to an oversized governor god Who sleepwalks you into a firing squad We'll make it better, we'll make it worse Dragging the stereotype Of an Indian curse Hell makes it better hell makes it worse Flogging the archetypal psychotic nurse Concrete buildings bursting At the seams At night the identical rooms Are full of dreams Gas pumping through Pipes when outside it rains Vents and screens administer The poison and make you go insane A head massage for a fucked up day Close your eyes And the shampoo goes away Mint green tiled showers steaming tool Mirrored liquid gathers In a gleaming pool Hell makes it better Hell makes it worse Worshipping the system Of cradle and hearse Cages for better And sunshine for worse Flogging the empty public purse

The room is dark, there’s a TV In the corner bathing the room In white light and white noise. Flickering Fragments of static echo through The corners of the room Searching for a home Dancing like bats in a torch’s beam The front door is dark green Frosted windows show nothing Of the night outside Just a blackness I think I am safe The noise of the TV soothes me Seeping into the cracks of my brain I close my eyes I can feel the light against my eyelids As if I was turning my head towards The sun on a summer's day I am at peace The time is right I creep over to the TV and turn it off With a flash and a pop The screen goes black; An almost inaudible Whining sound rises upwards And disappears The room fades To silence and darkness Suddenly cold as if a presence has left Like an empty chair When the guests have gone away Then I hear the faint sound Of music outside Slow and lilting Cold dread begins To sink into my muscles Creeping up my spine I am not alone There is a tapping on my window As a nail scrapes the frosted glass Of my dark green front door The air is different here. Cold, good There’s mud on my shoes and my jeans From a mile back, but I like that Seldom trailed footpaths Are pleased to meet my feet And I’m happy to meet Those seldom trailed footpaths Pleasure to meet you Tree, boulder, mud Although you’re locked away I feel at home, sane Clarity transfers from air to mind Crunching stones I’ve everywhere to hide. I’m at peace A setting sun sits silent, still A slow descent. Free from the cement It’s been an age since Crossing the fence I go down, following the river Not a sound but free flowing water Fields ahead. Another fence to duck under Concrete people say I shouldn’t be here Every trunk pinned with steel “Private fields. Do not enter” I dare feel safer It invites me yet demands I not walk further Hills of beauty never Seen by public eyes Those grey pupils of urban infants Wired and cordoned by private greed We see no green Not any longer The birds dare not sing anymore As darkness falls I hum, whistle and whisper A house, broken and weathered A door, the only green I’ve seen for a while Respite, perhaps. Perhaps danger The cold now bites so I check the window But see nothing through The frosted pane The glass breaks as I tap A lone pair of eyes are seen Music melting into a mess And with battered honesty There's a figure leaching onto me Tearing my will to leave and to see The unstoppable damage I'm surrounded by posts Where is there left to be?

Les extraits sont coupés Et collés ensemble Ils font quelques chose de linéaire Ils se déchirent les genoux et les dents Tout va bien, nous sommes bien Laisse-moi, je hurle Les espoirs risibles Je pensais que c’était en descente Ils n’ont donné aucune Raison de les prendre Dans une boîte pleine de couteaux Ils veulent te tuer Незаконные убийства Плачущие матери Дети без матерей Виноват по ассоциации Без доказательства Удобство Кожа с наших спин - ни раз A man loses a son A baseball card Kill over capture Find, fix and finish The disposition matrix White hot, small footprint No smoking gun
