The Black Flower

Cold all white science bare white slave all over Worship fixed in circles white floor glass ceiling painted Nails fall white essence wrinkles stitched together Minions blind miracles white eyes stare only fainted One last day in Rome like a white dove in hell Falling stars, silent wishes merely broken shells Swing low, swing low When stitched and sewn all over Go down, go down White scars unseen as ever Gone to white presence seam white sewn unover Last rose given never white thick oily scent departed Preach to white silence dry mouth foams just slower Worship cold bandages white moist air rainbow coloured

The rain is thrumming on Windows soak the tears I am so alone without her here The rain is thrumming on Downwardburning flame Don't want her to know Heaven wept again The rain is thrumming on Dark rivers that sear I would want her to know How I miss her here I am haunted by her voice By her eyes and by her touch Still feeling her voracious love Though she's gone and out of reach Dark rivers of the heart

Take this down ca 1993 Grey dusk envelops the dying stream Failing yet holding sway Slowly going away Grind me down, into the ground Down again, when I drown I've failed again Absinthe always this way Absinthe my loveless angel Shaking nervously with intenser days The pissant drags a bloody soul away Building beds out of flesh Rotting time, an empty caress Grind me down, into the ground Down again, when I drown I've failed again Absinthe always this way Absinthe my loveless angel A long way to go when chained to the earth Yesterday was mourning today's a brighter dirge

Rose die with me, fruits embitter and swans drown Summer came and passed away without a sound But it's over now and what can I do? Dark are the days now, all year through Can you hear the silence Can you feel the thorns Can you feel the silence Can you hear the storms Oh you were sad then in a time long gone Not with you I drifted off into dead zones And you were sick back when, chasing those fears Needed me close and still I wasn't there Can you hear the silence Can you feel the thorns Can you feel the silence Can you hear the storms We fade away

Oh cotton girl you wind up The sun and moon and stars You kiss the deep night goodbye Heal my wounds clean my scars You infuse a deeper meaning New colours and hues You're my "girl on heaven hill" God's talent put to use All I needed, to be free All I wanted, for us two To hear you say the words "I do" All I needed, to be free All I wanted, to be with you Yesmine, you're never mine Yesmine, always on my mind Oh cotton girl you draw away Dark nights and cold lives You take me to the boulevards Where the rich meet to die You exhude spiritual guidance Blue notes for my soul You enlight meanings hidden With your passion and glow All I needed, to be free All I wanted, for us two To hear you say the words "I do" All I needed, to be free All I wanted, to be with you Yesmine, you're never mine Yesmine, always on my mind

With her lion winter it is always spring Hotel beds and hot windy summer mornings We'll say yes to coming seasons, growth and change I was chocked by the voracious springtime rain You take away the pain In your eyes I see eternal summer In our world there'll be eternal summer Hand in hand we met love in the apocalypse Rhythmically lulled asleep she bit her lip And said "when we made love on weddingday did you feel this is for always, for always?" You take away the pain In your eyes I see eternal summer In our world there'll be eternal summer When the rain was over Naked world uncovered For once the sky was blue And all I ever wanted was you

You strangle me so gently I choke on your hold Your beautiful hands all over my soul I try to forget but you are so whole Like a star of heaven you shine alone If I could only hear yo say perhaps, my name My world would never ever be the same If I could only see you eyes, smell your dark chestnut hair Until I can hardly see, I feel that you're here You drive the needle you shoot up my soul You drive the needle in a world of gold You drive the needle I'm washing away but the pain still shows I'm hurting inside but the pain still grows The memory of you makes my day feel old A long time ago I was too cold Call your coroners girl, I'd die for your smile If need could be reasoned with emotions would die But I see through the darkness, a light to my eyes You are the spiritfire on an earth of ice You drive the needle you shoot up my soul You drive the needle in a world of gold You drive the needle you shoot up soul

You couldn't cut me deeper with a knife if you tried The burden of tomorrow makes me run off and hide You stripped me off my skin, let me know "love I come" Glasscat lioness, now what have we done? You and me we're in love with a lie Morphine, morphine You and me again that's why Morphine, morphine With plastic happiness comes the laughing emptiness We've always been forgetting these magic recipes You stripped me off my skin, let me know "love I come" Glasscat lioness, now what have we done? You and me we're in love with a lie Morphine, morphine You and me again that's why Morphine, morphine Putting on my oblivious helmet pretending I am dead Trying again to sleep your words out of my head Scratch not the surface, deep beneath the feelings lie Reasons only reasons that can't be justified

Sometimes, somewhere, someday Out there so far away for you I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting 3 am, a warming rain I saw your cheeks red with springtime fires Visualizing you all the time, again When you were making faces in the river You build me up when I'm torn down I'll try to forget when I'm under ground But you got the cure for me, the cure I need Here it comes again, I am overwhelmed These days are crazy, her weather is magic Sometimes, somewhere, someday Out t here so far away for you I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting 3 am a warming rain I saw you your vivid eyes and spiritglow Visualizing you all the time, again When you were making angels in the snow

An angel with coal painted feathers washed ashore An angel that needn't be cleansed anymore All the earth and air with out substance smeared On days passed heaven overflowed Now with a thousand clouds covered In the broad white dawn All the lights so strangely float From rainbow fallen in the glowworm's light Under the bodies of dew we were still It's all so clear, like silver from gold Once this was our will Silver like the ebb and tide gone by Silver the farewells and goodbyes This is for the stillness of empty days For the nevers... and the always Like the sorceress in you in the light of these thoughts We'd stay till we ran out of fears You gave me a world of reasons to endure And once we were here

She is burnt so badly by the flames from her heart Devil dancing on our souls to keep up part For the bridges we burnt, for the dreams that died We cry, we pray She is burnt so badly by the flames from her heart Devil dancing on our souls to keep up part For the days we lost, for the times we missed We cry, we pray With her nothing's quite what it seems It feels like we were part of the same dream, dream of Deep deep love and deep deep wounds The deeper the love the deeper the wounds She is burnt so badly by the flames from her heart Devil dancing on our souls to keep us part For our song unsung, for our lives undone We cry, we pray With her nothing's quite what it seems It feels like we were par of the same dream, dream of Deep deep love and deep deep wounds The deeper the love the deeper the wounds
