lyrics

facial display
redundancy
streamers, icons
cancel all contradictions

campaign rallies
hide behind their face
captures the crowd
converging lines draw us together

the script disappears begind these
photographs
which we call our lives which recall our lives
without a word
as the story is no longer told
but is projected as the images which make
up a face

totalizing
face fills the screen
organizes
the party line

political contraptions dreaming up the
common denominator that will get them
elected
leaders echo anti-climactic
slogans engulfed in crowds forcing the
dictatorial style

images fade
from popular view
as a team of
miraculous engineers save face

the grand canyon backdrop drops out of the sky
as they attempt to prop it up with their
demographics
from these numbers they fashion a mask
millions of people cast their single vote for
the face value
