the mystical elite

lyrics

I’ve been covering my body in plastic sheets
Seizing the light I bite between anatomy
Like a waterfall as watermelon ecstasy:
This is the ruin that keeps us brief
They say any healing is long and intense
Oh you know I’m still confined by her bed-rest
And whatever prepares the nightmare for its projection
Slices into the essence of what she calls heaven
I want my song to be fronted by Joan of arc
Slice off my hair and kiss my marks
My rage is splitting open again
I’ve been picking at that tender skin of
The mystical elite:
Sickness, paranoia and dreams
Of all my mismanaged schemes
I’m crossed out by the defeat
To move within appealing ways
To make-believe that I am brave
To sever my spine from my brain

I wanna become a human quake
And now I cannot see
What’s always been in front of me
I am paranoid
That I will destroy
Any goodness I have left inside
And I just want to unfold
The nights and visions that leave us cold
But I’ve been keeping my goddamn mouth shut
Cause I will never be upfront (about anything)
You know I’ve been forced into elegance Composing all these hieroglyphs
of affection and regret
What chaos will I tame yet
Like all these words that get stuck between my lips
The cemeteries dissolve into black extremities
And I still just want to go to sleep
