I. CONTRITION
Dear Jesus,
Your starry eyes
Have chased our cave thoughts into the busy street
But we've burned all the history books
And listen to the prophets say-
"I want to be destroyed with you"
And now that the dark has no teeth anymore
We run to it in our dreams where
Where we do coke off weiji boards
And imitate ghosts
"Ed Gein is my idol"
But Apollo's under my floorboards
What should I do with him now?
Now that we know
There's everlasting rest within The Big Secret
But tell me
What has perception taught you?
Every night we kill ourselves
To bring a corpse to life
In post-mortem toxic incite
Perception was just a lie
II. PATH TO EDEN
Pooling twist of ivory on my decay
We walk
In search of beer and
Columbine trouble
Breaking walls
To search the rubble
Passing Plato and Kant at the liquor store
We keep walking
Til I join the moonlight
I walk with vital breathe
Watching stones grow
Roses between their cracks
I keep my energy balanced
To defang darkness
We keep moving
Til I'm lost in midnight but smiling
Perception is just a lie
III. CULLET
I once was a glass fellow
In love with this girl
Who had no faith for my violence
She said to me-
"Your the reason John Lenon was shot!”
I said to her-
"Christ died for his own sins. Not mine!"
Then we drank our tears
Pulling the mind
Fart's from affection
To make them cloud-nine
To grow smiles when the misery parts
Below and beside her short comings
I become demon to drain affliction
Taking time to gather grins for her lament
With dawn at the heels
Face buried deep inside a heart asphyxiation
I can break the mirror into an egg
But can I sweep it to the back of my head?
To become one with her as my reflection sleeps
In the warmth of absolution
When " I " awake,
" I " am born.
Speaking with the fearful man's infant voice
In the black of every infant's
mind-forged puritanical-
“Perception was just a lie”
