about

“Wilder went into his sons' bedroom. Glad to see Wilder, they banged their empty feeding-bowls with their plastic machine-pistols. They were dressed in miniature paratroopers' camouflage suits and tin helmets -- the wrong outfit, Wilder reflected, in light of what had been taking place in the high-rise. The correct combat costume was stockbrokers' pin-stripe, briefcase and homburg.” - J.G. Ballard, High-Rise

lyrics

A choice not to, but you're distracted by
Projectiles and Splatter. A hefty price
To pay for someone's life: look them in the eye.
The locks to your doors are insecure.

You can't compensate for the empty space.
Change the pictures on the side,
But you don't know or care that she has a name,
Falling in faith with you.

We live on planet Earth
On a viewing platform in the dirt.
It fuels our hatred of art,
But we will save the best till last.
You can't compensate
For the empty space.
Change the pictures on the side,
But you don't know what's in her mind.
