the cradle - the opposite way pt. 3 lyrics

you come awake early in a far away town
you recall your dream but don’t write it down
you go to drink water and take a p+ss
trying to hold on to that memory’s wrist
you think it relates to what’s happening today
but you’ve p+ssed it away
the ones in the wall sound like spite all night long
father brane [?] tells me that they don’t belong

you needed a canvas for fear
well now they’re all here
two rats in the doorway block the outside
but they are the ones in whom you should confide
oh how do you like your pride
with a pearl made of a rat’s heart cooked inside

[verse 2]
riding through eerie past a long lake shore
wondering if that’s the one the town is named for
a grain silo rising up high from the ground
the paint peeling off and the inside burnt out
we drive past and into the station
where border cops ask if we are citizens
i press my face to the window and see
white walls of a church rising in front of me
with a bright gold bulb underneath the cross
shape that i think i’ve seen on a mosque
must have been something i learned in 5th grade
during the class on medieval spain
[verse 3]
when we pull out of eerie and resume our ride
rising straight up out of the highway side
higher than the trees and the gold cross i’d seen
a pole with the emblem of the sh+ll company

the shame of that cop coming round with his list
and telling him you belong here in english
