Pinhole Camera - ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

I’ve seen this city through the eyes of pin hole cameras

Shadows grey and upside down

I’ve seen these streets strech like slides in panorama

Vanish into darkness on the edge of town

It makes me sorry

My pin hole camera

These photographs

Reveal no answers

I’ve walked the allleys with my camera in my pockets

I’ve stopped to watch the sun set, Ladybird Lake, Austin

I’ve captured moments, paces, faces lost and empty

I’ve seen them starving, living in this land of plenty

It makes me sorry

My pin hole camera

These photographs

Reveal no answers

I’ve traced the lines of broken prayers on empty spaces

Recorded time in strange and cryptic wire transmissions

Postponed the days I felt fit to reveal the deception

Does deception reveal itself?

It makes me sorry

My pin hole camera

These photographs

Reveal no answers

I’ve kept the world a secret in my instamatic

I’ve captured history upside down

Taken light from others heedless of the vision

Lost memories to anger in a split decision

It makes me sorry

The world of cameras

Our photographs
