Ballooned satisfaction leading moonlit expeditions
Into the darkest corners of my subconscious
A twitching gaze remembering the waves
Backs turned to the ocean – we all come crashing down
You’re no fool with your concepts and actions
Dancing savage darkness around the fireside
Chanting your ideas, pouring your blood
Holding on to whatever bone you’ve picked this time
What did you sacrifice for the festivities?
Skinned, filleted, picked, sliced, gutted
Empty eye sockets and sewn lips
A scalp clipped to my belt, shrunken
Sizzling fingertips losing their prints once more
Another identity follows smoke into the forever
Tainted visions induced by acid rain
Pain leaves, blown across the alter you’ve created
It is no mystery, no timeless war cry
We were once and are no more
Ancient wisdom streams through veins
Pumping beauty as you beat…yourself
Head captivated by the howling from your throat
Growing notions once conceived, now aborted
Face the lion that engulfs any hope you store
