I know
Our frozen age
Returns to gold
As I row
Internal waves
Destroy the coast
Swift into dark
Eyes like keyholes
Partially nude
Past lives ripple
Bathed in blue light
Cold as a mirror
Drag your shadow through a pack of wolves
Scratch your name
into
the horsehair plaster walls and burn them down
Spill opaque
clouds in concrete swamps
And lay the face to waste
Feed it to the final flame
In vernal pools
When the soft light turns to rust
Go test the water you'll find me there
Crushed to dust
the smoke and the mirrors will keep me there
the ghosts and the fevers will guide my hands
Drag your shadow through a pack of wolves
Scratch your name
into
the horsehair plaster walls and burn them down
Spill opaque
clouds in concrete swamps
And lay the face to waste
Feed it to the final flame
Phantom pains
control the hands
that slowly choke me
I can feel hours in their moans
Black pools
In spring
It comes
It goes
Change your face little changeling
Your skin it cracks and crows
Black clouds
In spring
It rains
It pours
Sing your song little starling
This nest is not your home
Now
You know
There's hidden strength
Contained in those pools
Now
You know
You can't escape without
The right tools
Ice water
Fill the dry depression
seep into the soil
Drink this viscous liquid
Soak it up
bring it to a boil
I am the only one
Who'll keep you from falling apart
Spellbound
Shallow in the basin
vacant
Knee-deep in the breeding grounds

Long legs crawl
through cold basement walls
Trace the lines
That shape your house
Spin tanged yarns through hot attics in dark
We fell for dirty tricks girl
Because we're greedy and starved
Fragile body
shake webs and thieve
My my my my my antique venom
Vibrate through time and space
Tame us wild beasts with your psychic mind control
don't ever let me go
Love's silent wraith
Is descending my staircase in robes
So slow
comfort me, wrap me in silk
Pain pill
My savior my angel of filth
My Achilles heel
Reclaim your arrow
confirm the kill
My my my my my antique venom
Love's silent wraith
Is descending my staircase in robes
So slow
comfort me, wrap me in silk
Pain pill
My savior my angel of filth
My Achilles heel
Reclaim your arrow
confirm the kill
When long legs crawl
Kingdoms fall
Long legs crawl

Ribbon come undone
Vorpal blade
Cut and run
Hard feelings
keep us one
Fan the flames
So we don't grow cold
Cats eyes only need one sixth the light
You can't fade to black
Soft magnet draw me like a gun
Repeat yourself
Haunt the woods
Where I bang my head
-Got an axe to grind
Half poison
Half iron lung
The great divide
In a dark star constellation
in the color rings
On the gray grid I can see your face
In the phosphenes
After birth
You're cold, alone and wild
When it hurts
You'll bleed it out in style
Nurse the grudge
Keep the fire alive
When you bury the hatchet
Part of you dies
Evil looks
Through Jaundiced eyes
At daggers
You and I
Twist the knife
Bad blood
Simmers inside
Give me a glimmer of the devil
That commands your might
Nurse the grudge
Keep the fire alive
When you bury the hatchet
Part of you dies
Spill the ink
And blur the lines
Memories spoiling for a fight
Every link In this rusty chain is mine
Bind my body
And grip my mind
-Let the knife do the cutting
At daggers
At daggers
Don't cut me loose
I need you more -now
We can break -apart -and shatter
We crack and crumble down
At daggers
At daggers
Don't cut me loose
I need you more -now
We can tear -apart -and tatter
Fall asleep and run aground
When we bleed
It pools together
In this shipwreck we are found
Bring the battle
Everyday
A duel at dawn
Fuel the feud
Cross swords with me
Drag it on and on and on
Without my shield
My defense is so low
Every hit I feel
Gets me closer to you

Diving Bell

Rapture of the deep
Drape your veil
Beyond the twilight zone
in the midnight realm
I dwell
Below the surface waves
There's a danger
The pressure of the depth
keeps me anchored
On the ocean floor
I'm a stranger
A foreign body sunk
In an impact crater
in the turbid water
I'm a failure
Suffer my design
My human nature
And the earth was without form and void
Darkness on the face of the deep
Bioluminescent pilots
Leave light trails
Crystal canyons echo
Pierce my copper helm
Soft Slumber lords
A frozen shade that gently warms
Black your lily-white hands
Hold me in your arms
And the earth was without form and void
Darkness on the face of the deep
Encumbered
Pinned under the fathoms of grey noise
Mother
Shake me from this waking sleep
Heavy velvet curtain
Ring down on me
Hush my hollow bones
And Gild these broken wings
Paper mâché
Dissolved in my cell
My lacrimosa
My diving bell
Let me burn
Cry for the moon In darkened rooms
Burn with a low blue flame
Loyal servant of the coven
Grieving in their wake
There is no escape
I'm forever chained
To an altered state
I lay slain
Rare thunder With opal eyes
Egyptian rain Flood my mind
Damascus blade Sever ties
leave me cut and dry
Vermillion
The drone congregations grow
Whispers bloom
In the gloaming I Fell
Fevered Down to you
My healer
My crimson queen
Lend me perfect vision
Show me everything
Moai eyes glow
Fossil feathers trapped in amber
Lost in a dream
Arcane bats crowd my belfry
We're alone now
Slowly drifting in the magma
Savage island screams
My crimes pardoned by her grace
Drink from desert succulents
No space between
Shed your diamond skin for me
Spirits rise into the ether
Tomb effigies
Mark the hallowed cold seep
We leave
Born
I am born
Returned to form
I am born
Free from the swarm
I am born
