Do the garish city lights burn brightly for you?
To be abhorred for the truth

And pay no worship to the garish sun

Carried careless from the tap so garish

Started out golden and ended up garish

With morning comes a garish light
Now screaming in through every gash

Sing a song to perish, your doom will be garish
Do not speak the bloody name

Just to find out how it felt
In some garish hotel room with vile decoration
The wallpaper witnessed my first pollination
