I.
It's the differences in subjectivity
Between who you are and what I pretend to be
That holds the city rat within the endless
Stinking pit of hell
Feel the rain pourin' down
Snowy drops upon the rolling plane
And the wind silent wind ogrish wind
Beats upon my face
Sewer held within the backlash
Cigarettes rotten meat unbrushed teeth
And a slow and steady rhythm as the drum beats
Wings given from the neck the back the eyes
Not here inside this time watching waltzing
In the silence above the fractured dream
Above the nightmare careening out of control
No more monsters with slitted, staring eyes
Hiding in the forest waiting for their time devouring flesh
Drumbeat steady, steady sensual rhythm
Seed of spawn of wet wolf lurking in the house
Smell the fur wet dog fur muddied, bloodied, oiled
Screaming echoes off the walls of shattered mind soundless mind
Only motion in these clouds my breathing
Drumbeat faster, harder sensual rhythm
Transcending the white fog pale fog fog of substance, soul
To this tiny world tiny season tiny Eden
Watching sun set, tides roll, birds call, beach sing
Feeling cool summer breeze caressing cheek
Petting hair, curling about the lost and broken statue
Holding hands with phantom in a setting no one knows
Drumbeat harder, faster slow
II.
Searching fierce islands lost time no time God's time
For shrapnel from the taking tree
Soul shards mind shards body shards
Nothing fits together puppet splintered child murdered
Cubist masterpiece like a broken shadow flitting
Through the life past the life is this life
With Darkness dancing inside the dawn's dying light
Twisting ballerina elastic worn out listen to the bones
Hollow spongy bones swaying as you stand fall to the warm, warm sand
White twigs in the white sheet frost in the desert frost in summertime
Lost voice laughing come find her come dance with me
Dark force melting frost away teeth within the veins
Poison numbing anesthetizing carry me away
Darkness dancing inside, outside darkness feeding
Never the same mind rests never forgets
What it was I lost
Forget the time forget the name forgetting everything
But don't wake from the comfort of the nightmare
Can't forsake what I have known what I am vicious immortality
Even watching all the time
Darkness dancing inside, outside stealing
III.
Own the name the darkness gave
Never say it whispered sin running from the sun
Only shelter the night fright my pain
Holding tight to a forgotten dream only shred of reality only tie to what used to be
The Sunlight beckons and the Darkness holds me tightly, fearfully as the Sunlight calls
Fear of mortals golden lives
Unsure of what to do
One ray of hope in the tall tall grass
Listen for the snake to wander through
Lust for blood white-hot longing ember-red pang of need
Look to the innocent child cut her make her bleed
Sunlight beckons darkness tenses sunlight calls
Phantom cast hollow eyes to pregnant skies
Waiting for the master wet wolf pale fog
To descend and kill
Whipping winds that temper stance
The bough breaks child dies
But no the answer has been heard
Sunlight beckons darkness tenses dawn
IV.
Unsteady wind asthmatic wheezing cold
Rain slides through the oil smell of then fear of now
Liquid ray embracing
Green bud bursts through parched river bed
Straining sound of beast
Dancing in the forest
As the Light breaks through the Darkness and barricades it out
Crystal walls of steel soft pillow for my head
Spinning in the still rage soft and violent storm
The captive river bursts the dam
Torrential flooding higher land
Can't escape the enevitable caught trapped dead
Light shines darkness wanes holding out
Night my love we've come so far
And I'm so far away from you
Remember the moment teeth sank in cut aorta river red
Within the forged steel vice and terror
Looking back upon this cure for death removing poisoned threads
Light shines darkness wanes holding out
From white-black to the mystic lights aurora singing
Take the hand of fate and dance
Turn the table on the most famed gambler
Read the tarot star signs Holy whisper
Not the pet
Goodbye, my wolf my pale fog my diseased and dying master
Light shines darkness wanes freed |
