Suspicious Minds Zoe Crook and Aodhan Madden

 sorry no statement

 bullet point press release

 so at least two come together

 work the words into the ground

 a growing clash

 wash the brain

 in a war of invisible grime

 withdraw from utopia

 ongoing, immaterial

 we’re in a bloody mess

 invisible chains chaining

 teach the angels not to stare

 free-agent catalysis or

 for there’s no outside of violence

 a medieval hospitality

 and the circle becomes

 us, provincial mercenaries

 vicious when it's broken

 suspicious with each stride

 cut it out, let it bleed

 of the body inside out

 don’t trust the salesmen

 We are talking through a previous event

 there will be a joust

 we don’t know what to expect

 the catch is to never connect

 in this ongoing space, in-between

 the world second-hand

 in a tight space

 oh, partner, oh grabbing heart

 And this is all we can offer

 how could I do it alone?

 to the serious captives

 do we consent to our entrapment?

 that counsel our world into shape

 (these are also things we fear)
