Dirge
Album • 2011
Wisps of smoke Scented foams Dress the ceilings with drips of shades As the great moth spins carmine veils Bees and dragonflies Fireflies as bedside lights Sigh in sails until welkin thrills As winged harms (sic) turn the Catherine wheel Cyanide lips Hemlock sleep Dreams in formaldehyde Slowly mourn, sink and die Give me blooms and gardens That would awake me Blow on me dandelions As daffodils scream But no radiant eastern glare There's just this scarlet purity Bowing head, bended knees Red moth release me Release me

Shut eyes are haunted cells Sharpen lids rip the shell Release ghosts unto light Switchblade fear bleeding dry Obsidian recalls your beasts Those hounds breaking into my sleep Obsidian, will you give me A missing part, an effigy So would you come tonight? There's room enough in these dreams But would you leave at dawn? There's no place for you in this realm But night is a dagger A knife held by many hands A barrel aimed, a loaded gun And hundred tongues licking the trigger

Sheets like shrouds Veils and curtains wrap the orphans Silent clouds Lost in closed-eyed crown Ebb and flow The sound of the rain is an echo That weeps diluvian tears On pristine white snow Lashing storm Outside thuds weave Voiceless laments And blister moons, triumphant

The lighthouse shrinks like lace Twisting shades in velvet breath Evening wound, sundown grin Silken sobs, satin screams Night embrace As wax and clay paint your face I behold starving quicksands As you slip through my hands Magnetic fields call through This growing sleep Where I can't trail you Where I can't beseech Would I wait until The bells of morning Which reveal The angels of spring Slumbering birds Passing over Cracking domes And abandoned homes But do sleepwalkers know Where they flow Is there a smile, somehow But do we know

Falling along cloudy walls A dizzy dive through hazy fumes Along the perfect body Of dreamless clean white sheets Falling like breaking adrift Going with the tide where mortals can't swim Along the perfect forms Of empty peaceful shores Falling from pedestal From domain of searing hours Falling down slippery stairs Into the lush nothingness I hear from this cavity The world screaming without me And I'm falling, falling Deep down inside of me

The light extends Wings outstretched Climbs within then shines Forth from depths Thousand hands Slice the electric air Catch my fists Lift me up along dazzling glare Dust storm flows Through sandman's claws Body, hovering Into deep black stream These giddy stairs Twist and turn Stroke the moon As stars crash and burn Raise me up Higher and higher From this glass cage To the promise of slumber Sandstorm blows Around the gallows The cage is in pieces Shards of smothered screams Scars of amber gleams And light is growing dim And light is growing dim
