Great manipulator Fold your wings Condescend to me In back alley streets Where broken words stretch endlessly Where a moment steals destiny Unravel me Where pain is measured In the depth of a scream The redder the blood The more sacred the belief To become lost the more you seek How could I capture my being? A flash of a moment A chemical decree Where emotion cloaks meaning Can you trace the edges of a dream? A formless memory? Confusion crowned king Communication comes Sputtering Dog-mouthed ravings Silent razor Spilling me Spent breath And echo of death Labyrinthine, do you know me? The million-tongued beast With a vile answer To every morbid inquiry A hydra head upon the neck Of every dead-end street A tragic circle Of every linearity Each word of hope Can only spell defeat The Tyrant comes crawling Calling, internally To make me adversary To kill the God in me
