lyrics
all i want is your compassion
if i were to strain be it not the action
pressed up to the window of your tenement
pensive with a touch of hope's descent
i'd lay my hands to the straps on your shoulders
and gently your face if i felt a bit bolder
this perfect picture to be one
your eyes upon me weigh a ton
without a word or even a movement, you've won
give me your blood, give me your light
give me your heart, in black and white
drain me of colors that force doubt upon
myself and others once faithful and strong
insipidly beautiful words imparted fire to felicity
monstrosities of paranormal bombast approach the gates of time to hiss at me
the depositional despondance of hapless wings flap over my home
blurring the senses, dissolving defenses
as the caretakers surround our collective bed of pretenses
i long to feel your artistry in respiration's endless need
consoling me in my desperation, convincing me to breathe
to pander evermore unto the lull of pleasure fleeting
and pass lucid prospects over, exiting defeated
to willingly accept the harping disconnect i sew
and teach myself to ignore the respect and love i'll never know
i'll write these pieces of lead for all
til summer's curtain comes to call
with greece's finest god of wine
i pluck my harp in hell's divine
chapel of the indolence maligned
to return this instant, my personal assistant
go lightly upon the magnetic distance
and unto the promissory foyer of solemnity mine
but you know not the ways in thy heavenly daze
an err to wise and a sin to despise
delineated growth spurt welcome mat placeholder eyes
writing inviting executive disorders
holding pattern spirituality of the polling, rolling murders
in ghastly mass of asterisks past
gleams a pious virtuosity in ersatz wealth remittance polemics masks
love and hate, pleasure and pain
it's as plain to see as a burning plane
believe in god because you're bored
if you speak up you shall be ignored
so stay with me and i'll be your guide
have fun today, pull me aside
retread our thoughts, believe to decide
maybe we ain't got nothin to hide
i took a shot at my dream and it wound up dead
maybe someone should just stab me in the head
i won't help your grievance bearing down on me
hapless in its entirety
raising the stakes for the common good
when the police come, it will hide neath the rotting wood
i'm not a catfish, but i've traveled the land and sea
i'm not that selfish
you can have anything, it's fine with me
these lilies are pure evil
see how they lean
intentions deceit-filled, just what have they seen
i stab your facade, an attempt on your pain
laid the crab and the cod right in front of the train
over land and sea, through the waters we divide
for the ocean is deep and the river is wide
i'm on your side if you let me inside
what do i have to hide
accursed fear, foolish pride
remarks have torn, rather snide
mountains crumble, worlds collide
earthquakes rumble, birdies glide
the faithful mumble, in priests confide
feeling lost, need some sort of guide
astronomical cost, spaceship give me a ride
go away go away go away from me peasants
mainline demonic plasma and drain the flourescence
