about
"Prison offers the same sense of security to the prisoner as does a royal palace to a king’s guest. The masonry, the materials, the proportions and the architecture are in harmony with a moral unity which makes these dwellings indestructible so long as the social form of which they are the symbol endures."
- Jean Genet, The Thief’s Journal

lyrics
So you’re a shipwreck
What brought you to these shores?
Was it stormy weather
That tore your hull apart?
There were arc lights searching
To shine on your monstrosity
They need your contrast
Still cursing your narrow escape
In the morning
In the evening
In the aftermath of our dining
In the towers
In the suburbs
There’s always new plans for our dying
It’s a modest proposal
To end our hardships
To share the joy and lightness
Of multiplicities
We’ve all been cornered
Sent back on public demand
To padded chambers
For everyone to see
In the morning
In the evening
In the aftermath of our dining
In the rose fields
In the subways
There’s always new life in the making
It’s a modest proposal
To end our hardships
To share the joy and lightness
Of multiplicities
What brought you to these shores?
Was it stormy weather
That tore your hull apart?
There were arc lights searching
To shine on your monstrosity
They need your contrast
Still cursing your narrow escape
In the morning
In the evening
In the aftermath of our dining
In the towers
In the suburbs
There’s always new plans for our dying
It’s a modest proposal
To end our hardships
To share the joy and lightness
Of multiplicities
We’ve all been cornered
Sent back on public demand
To padded chambers
For everyone to see
In the morning
In the evening
In the aftermath of our dining
In the rose fields
In the subways
There’s always new life in the making
It’s a modest proposal
To end our hardships
To share the joy and lightness
Of multiplicities
