humankind thrusts a dagger to the neck
of everything that ever was, or will be blessed
the voice in the hall sounds like no one at all
a semblance paces white
the son of man is the band in my brain
their brass and their bells burn from black carousels
im a doll at the ventriloquist’s hand
eyes full of the land
floating by, if i can
camellias are crushed in her palm
a perfume runs thick, from the glow of the wick
buried deep in the warmth of the spell
where i’ll awake with the scratch of cold nails in my back
humankind thrusts a dagger to the neck
of everything that ever was, or will be blessed
power compels, in the shell of a bell
and god turns off the light
forever a tear upon the eye of a marble man
worlds so tall become nothing at all
a semblance paces white
a semblance paces white
your semblance paces white

she keeps the sunset on a string
and watches from afar in the hollow
her violent heart will twist and weave
my will
afloat upon the wind
to fold upon itself
to tell her in a sigh
i’m nature red in tooth and claw
spitting out the blood of my angels
venom-eyed and lisle lace-smiled
while i rest beneath a nervous flood
to swallow hellfire tears
and melt into the sun
murmur of the holocene
a stranger in a stranger’s dream
my god
i'll love you till the sun grows cold!
she keeps the sunset on a string
and watches from afar in the hollow

here’s carbon in my chest
where jewelry built a nest
im tangled in the arms of venus torn apart
everyone i’ve known
is never coming home
im tangled in the arms of venus torn apart
the sun is turning green beneath a neptune’s ring
(her words, though few, drown it out)
but im tangled in the arms of venus torn apart

deep blue
i’ve been falling down for you
when i think of things you do
it sends me spinning on and on
(on and on and on and on)
spinning on and on
(on and on and on and on)
deep blue
i’m loosing every single day
i don’t know why it feels ok
You send me spinning on and on
venom eyes and poisoned smile
here to keep me out of style
say we’ll be together every day
in your arms - a destructive world
an endless stream of bad referrals
I’ll patiently await

here on orphaned planet blue
i’ve got nothing to do
but watch the neon die
through hurricanes' closed eyes
prehistory unfolds the tourniquet from venus de milo
with baths of light pacing the floor
somewhere
in shadow and in light
a semblance paces white
a wing fell upon me
through torn time in dead heat
my will upon the wind and tumbling in aphelion forever
an ailing limb reached for the door
with baths of light pacing the floor
the one who knows won’t speak anymore
the one who knows won’t speak anymore

he morning star will guide the lambs
with the wave of a mother’s loving hand
la marseillaise, you raise the killer’s knife!
as he stumbles off into the night!
heartfelt music plays the scenery
I'm painted by the sound
float away, float away
hurry off in vehemence
and miss your angel’s passing glance
i sold my heart for a witch’s broom
her great tower splits my sun in two
but the sun sinks to the sea in the fevered dreams of a young antigone
float away, float away

hell dust to pollinate
pressed flowers staining the page
i can’t stop talking to you even though i never knew you
i’ll swallow light in years
until i disappear
inner planets, brighter days
but my world just floats away
the curve of the moon, a face at the sill of the window
halos and halogen
a kingdom of living ends
inner planets, burn away
pluto floods at a summer's pace
while the sway of a wand scatters gold in the baths of the deep

The Future (in Reverse)

if i ever catch a break
i’m gonna twist this fate
into a lovely shape
and maybe then
i would feel the sun
i wanna win in the end
beat what i’m up against
it’s a hell of a curse
and it wants me dead
but i’ll cling to a star
with my heart from afar
she keeps seeing the future in reverse
but i’ll cling to a star
with my heart from afar
not used to coming though
I’m not used to coming through
but it’s what i’ve got to do
for you
so i’ll cling to a star
with my heart from afar

palaces of sculpted ice
are floating out at sea
shocks of foam
burnt wintergreen
the scent invokes
a memory
but not for me
in the deadened lace of morning
the lighthouse bears a warning
forever a tear upon the eye of a marble man
