lyrics

survival is
a heatless lover
fleeing down
abandoned
streets
where
dreaming is a
polar wind
caressing
shades
pale
in
mercury
exhaustion,
haze-like, descends
over
the sleeping city
alien
in the weeping
lens
of distance

we stand and
move our limbs
but we cannot
shake the sleep
escape is everywhere
and nowhere
and never what
it seems
each and all and
ever downwards
racing
through an
abyss
collapsing
into the headwaters
of nothing


the sun is fled
to what end?


our hungers
turn the gears
above our heads
muscles spent
and passions bled
enduring like
the deadest sea
dreams and desolation
into the maw
of sleep


to what end?
to what end?

strain I would against these bonds
if only every movement
did not tighter draw them


hunger
turns the gears
about our heads
passions spent
and muscles bled
buried deep
beneath a sea
of dreams and desolation
into the maw
of sleep

when
will we
awaken?
