[01:34.11]i tried to speak between lines of oration
[01:37.68]could only repeat what you told me.
[01:41.67]my axe belongs to a dying nation,
[01:45.41]they don't know that you own me.
[01:49.73]i'm watching movies trying to find the feelers,

[03:01.54]the bloody faces slowly pass,
[03:05.21]the numbered seats in empty rows,
