Corsica 03:44
Corsica, might I lie between your teeth until this breech is bridged Here beneath these monolithic, white venetian cliffs Where behemoth eyes and clouds collide and speech suspends Where we were easier to believe before our wings were clipped Chart a course between the sand dunes and the north shore Have you been reborn, you swore like everything was nothingness and nothing more Now when you speak it truly seems you have been fucked and torn There are crows amongst us

I've seen the devil yawn I've seen heaven withheld and hell in his palm in the clutch of dawn I used to covet a kingdom of blood, I shed a soul colored monochrome Until we filled our cups by the fountainhead and hedges overgrown Broken and free from the fetters between Is it true Each spark your heart consumes Each infernal bloom Is a phantom torn asunder And how soon could you desecrate what hallowed you knew If only to cleanse your wounds in the company of the others But you pulled me out From a swollen womb, tempest-tossed Beneath those pillar clouds Beneath a crescent moon and an absent god Is it such a stretch That perhaps without there is no such loss, just a safety net So you scratched at the surface until all that was left was the truth Twist all your senses into submission Culpable for such a vulgar display Found in the flames, found in the flames Bliss and redemption are found in the flames

Halves 03:15
The ether plastic and static, precipitous and indiscriminate The dialogue carried on in the attic Concomitant with and omnipresent itch There are horns held beneath every halo A pitchfork tucked beneath each wings I am still dizzy from the burden of the vertigo And the white hot light emanating from your teeth as it unfolds Unbridled, what more might you have become? I heard my ghost inquire of his prior home The apparition ascended into the sun godless, nameless, no anchor in tow Truths held once ripped along the fence All things are now as they forever have been Mired in chaos and perfect sense, though just beyond your reach

Mohkav 04:34
Governess, I'm crushed, entangled, thorn and thicket Is this blood or is this rust within this shell Only hopeful apparatus, toxic elixir, cognitive fracture Sometimes perseverance is a tough sell But I still bow before the throne of the iconoclast This may be irony, or merely happenstance There are bodies bloodlet all along the picket fence There is a middle into which you may well never fit Martyr scars and monuments, a retroactive pardon Know they not the past from which they come The softest touch and falsest crux, is an apparition present Angel I have waited, for who knows how long
5.
When neither skeleton key nor code were found in the cathedral I took a cemetery stroll with my shadow What could I learn, what could I know In a mineshaft or a black hole My canary sang so pretty, but they let my song bird go I was absent at the engagement I built my gallows high In hopes I would never have to hang from them Beneath this wounded sky A conduit exposed, a sanctuary seized There are ghosts within the belfry, but no asylum in these dreams What could I know, what could I find In a nickle urn or a gold mine My canary sang so pretty, I left my song bird behind I was absent at the arraignment I built my gallows high In hopes I would never have to hang from them Beneath this wounded sky
