Lonely People With Power
This track is instrumental.
All decline I seeded from my fright Each dim year giving less to the light Suddenly present now All hail now the panopticon See all around me All of my failure Trapped under this dominion Shaking into seizure Now A perverse stirring I fell out of rhythm Sadness left me uneven A masking confusion Across the vast wilds of time I laid the grain down the coastline Ah, I wanted the Garden of Eden But fed my misgivings I wrestled with strength just like you I ate from the apple of my ruse And stared into the mirror of my truth All the time death as my muse All hail now the panopticon See all around me All of my failure Crushed under this dominion Shaking into seizure Now Naked and eyeless My iris has only black views All my misguidance Hiding as torment grew Alone on an island knowing the exits too I gave into silence Knowing the exits too Facing the violence I wrestled with death just like you In this panopticon I sought death In this panopticon Suddenly present now

Lighting fell And I stood steeping in light Laughing with brilliant fear Turning back to your smile Every door peeled Open on an autumn afternoon We traversed warm boredom Fled disappointment And loved under the wide rose sky Drinking silver from a dim spring of mercury On the outskirts of a desert The lifeless slither Still we seek thirsting and wandering I was a man made of yesterdays Mornings glowing like coal Blinding the every day Legs buckling together when moving Now I’m faced from the East And rushing to the crest Of the valued vast Sterling purple echoing West Now I run from all my truth Away with you To the vast sterling purple echoing West From all my truth Away with you West From all my truth Away with you West
His heart is closing Right when he is trusted Who is he close with? Feeling he owes his Sense of self to lusting Days without roses Oh, he lies to feel like he is someone new Oh, why don't we leave and go to somewhere new? I wonder what is numbness And what's a coma? Into the lights Closing his eyes in the lane again He quit looking for the pears in paintings Intimacy and its meanings Leaving fondness for weakness Strangers and desire I wonder what is numbness And what's a coma? Into the lights Closing his eyes in the lane Driving head into mystery No feeling but the weight I'm forgetting, he's forfeiting I'm deciding that he's quitting now Filled with the sin of power This is what he's destined for In this ugly hour Again he goes Where he's gone before Losing all reason He's never learning Someone adored lifts him today All who stay will know a true love Someone adored lifts him today All who stay will know a true love Know a true love Know a true... Know a true love Know a true...

“Lunar studded starscape Doldrums in the calm Drama of dark choirs God’s teeth shatter— His black smile padded in muted shadow” What is life? I don’t know All I know is its price Savaging left me incomplete So I army crawled toward a glow Of craving and release Travesty in a gloomy world Where the embers of honeyed heat Formed a tar of black beginnings Where I own every want Always seeking to enter A taker begging for closure Go! I need aloneness I was feigning relief Wasn’t calm until now I need your guidance Will you see me? Can you see I need you now? This curse overwhelms me Can’t you see I need you now? Oh! I need allegiance When you find me coming down I’ll have only known the sound of your absence Wondering if I could ever wind up being him He’s not me! He’s not me! All this daydreaming without sympathy Going over the years When we lived together At the end of the track in the Townhouse Motel Blood on the mattress, blood on the walls All of the violence, all of the cops And when the men came with their guns First we hid in the bath then hid on the bed I loved you then, I love you now I loved you then, I love you now I forgave you I was proud to live in your shadow In the comfort of your breeze So, I’m not condemning Just remembering the beginning Majesty and misanthropy Beginning at 40 From the zenith underneath Nadir! Nadir! Nadir! Nadir! Nadir! From every day living Waking in fear

I think I might be hiding from myself It’s so good to be alone with someone else When you come to me, I see you wanting heat You’re so good to me Have we met before? It’s so good to be hiding from myself When you say “Baby, come to me” Who am I? One who cannot see I think I might be hiding from myself It’s so good to be alone with someone else ——————————- Hiding with the excess Intense abruptness I treaded the winepress The brutal facts of a strange bondage Not being held For all that I’ve done For all that I own Not being held For all that I’ve done For all that I own Desperate to be alone

Isolate every waking day Hiding from self while loathing grows And I saw seeds of destiny The crumbling of what's been known Only by the grace, we see active mistakes And exist in their wake Moving on dictates We grasp the wounded face Of our own faint embrace The truth of renaming our struggle Seething in secret The mirror of the ugly cowards Taking the moment now Tying us to the ground Watching them hammer the nails I'm bringing them bile I'm clearing desires Coins on their eyes I'm clipping the flowers Of spiritless leaders Oh, they tremble in towers Lonely people with power Devoured by God The act of all these staggered obstacles dismantled The light of a new dawn prayer coming true Psychic struggle disappearing Everybody screaming Everybody screaming "No this cannot be" Wash the blood from my feet The hosts of Heaven melting trumpets now Find them, bring them Cut them down Find them, bring them Cut them down Take what they love (Find them, bring them) Burn it in fire (Cut them down) Take what they love (Find them, bring them) Burn it in fire (Cut them down) Everybody's praying To not have it be them To ascend, to evade What else could come? Everybody's praying To not have it be them To ascend, to evade What else could come? It was me, it was you Converging in toto Desperate to be left alone

He sits and shows me naked women Wants to know my type Asks if I’ve thought to want them Laughs when I’m shy Hands sweat, coil back Twist into vines Don’t I owe them everything for all I’ve come to know? Seeing what I’m taught to see Taking to it slow Buried in the home When I tell him I’d beg to love them He starts smiling outside smoking Burned back slow til he starts choking Don’t I owe them everything for all I’ve come to know? Seeing what I’m taught to see Taking to it slow Buried in the home Nothing so sacred leaves this place of reason That was my cross That was the outcome That was the loss No, I don’t feel anymore Everything withers Everything dulls No, I don’t feel anymore Nowhere is guidance When everything’s wrong No, I don’t feel anymore Nowhere is guidance When everything’s wrong No, I don’t feel anymore

We looked toward the woman And my face burned red blushing When she asked me the questions Are you ever alone? Are you younger or older? I held her close In my thoughts some way wanting In spite of the sorrow My tensing in terror On the strip of Ventura With the tin barrels burning Under a halo of moonlight When the hour was lonely It was the way that she touched me Her arm on the window And the way she said baby And the way she said baby

The signs of progress Combatting all destinies It’s not for nothing that I impress On myself what I should be I know I need it No, there is no freedom There’s a missing piece The howling energy Is a shining vacancy Thinking I’d survive with everything I was gaining Behind the curtain I was sinking With everything I’m supposed to be I’m waiting for the fall I’ve been dreaming of somewhere seeing Us close to the knives If I could have a morning To have a moment A silver lining Id stick them in, twist them down, bury with ease Power bastard Pathetic master I’m reliving Saturn eating His flesh is everything of mine You took it all and left me nothing Laid me in a hole For death to feed on

In the checkered orchard, I came alive Under the blue valley With a head full of midnight I escape between the rows of trees Down the ravine In the majesty of the San Joaquin Lonesomely wandering Cold in the checkered orchard, I came alive Under the blue valley With a head full of midnight Idiot’s blood drops like a dagger Pink tears flow As I sink into the After Leaving the day to close My body spills into a secret well God gave me the wish For religious stillness Showing shivering skin Living with this illness Showing shivering skin With you, my endless illness With my endless illness Walking into blackness
