Analysis of The Suburbs
Against the hills
Against the grain
I strain
Crying Upon my lawn
A Crimson dawn
A muddy Bloody
Puddle
But I didn’t pull the trigger
My Strings are
Polluted and barely play
A sorrowful tune
On a bent violin
Our Education diluted
A weary drained mess
And lets discuss the money
Upon my breast
A crumpled letter hangs
“Best”
