lyrics

i walk for miles before i open the door to creaking hallways, senses say "i is crawling".. down a path that leads through the wall where little babies rule, we ignore their call. it seeps and sounds of volcanic waves, it calls myself incestuous and sane.
and i found myself in the doldrums
no wind to show me which way to go
and all i see is my own face in the doldrums
i want to conquer arcs of intangible name and stone heartbeats built when seasons change, but oh desire how the direction's discreet
there's an arbitrary clause in the angles of sleep
so i build my nest above your head and to the birds say "i is sexless"
"so sorry" say the fountains "from inside i'm blind", it turns little ones all black, bruised and unkind
it clouds my judgement, the judgement of god
i hold my breath but the horizon be so calm
