39 Steps - Mark Stoermer

I’ve been suffocating, dust collecting, vexing, hexing holograms

As a new day’s breaking, buzzers sounding, pounding, drowning, hidden scams

Subtle infiltration, waiting, shaking, mating, hating sociopaths

Money-lending nation, tapping, crashing, cash-in, backing cryptic traps

No longer trusting anyone

Checking the locks on all the doors

We are the spies

We always hide from each other

We are the spies

Telling those lies to each other

Plastic eye-lined vacuum, disconnected, executive, echoing shotgun blasts

Friendly fire war-room, crowning, counting, hounding, mounting secret plans

Tired message faking, grade-A banking-savings-babies taking naps

I’ve been checking faces, flagging, lacking, tagging, cackling silent laughs

No longer trusting anyone

Checking the locks on all the doors

We are the liars showing our broken teeth

Bearing false witness to counterfeit priests
