lyrics

Sense, fleeting
Crystallized then powdered
Fed to life screaming
Grasping outward
Best insights
Floating in the ether
Ironized neatly
Wrapped in plastic
And there’s a combination only I can parse and twine
It’s mine
Evil one
Saw the slanting of the castle looming over all the peasants at work
I stole away from the convention with the omnipresent God surveillance
Something awful started rising to my throat, coughing up the lifeblood
Invisibility meant everything to me, felt the sin on my skin
There’s a combination only I can gloss in time
It’s mine
Easy, hun
Don’t look back
Just lie
Knock something loose in a vacuum
Your favorite tune degraded to used tissue
Concrete collisions warping vision till the residue becomes insulting
I gave them all I had in trust
They were nice enough to conceal disgust
Piercing right into my eyes
Phony saviors stripping clothes from lepers
Will you remember moments of me
After I censor
Every crime scene
Dead season
Birds already fleeing
No divine hours
Bells chime off-key
