Wreck and Reference - Apollo Beneath the Whip lyrics

Artist: Wreck and Reference

album: Want


The simple slave,
In sweat-soaked sheets,
Aims his shackles, and cuts off his hands.
The simple slave,
In smoggy pantheon,
Aims for release, and cuts off his head.
Apollo falls asleep behind the wheel.
A scar reopens to a wound
And pleads in a whimper for infection.
And now this great dying beast,
That I've chained round my neck,
In a torrent of feathers, a face of paper cuts.
Fragile tributaries of blood stain powder white wings,
Framed and catalogued for collection.
The simple slave,
In fallow fields,
Shrugs off his burden,
And falls asleep.
