i took a slide, slipping down a staircase
a piranesian dream
my senses reeled, distorted by the darkness
i lit my way with a scream
and in the rave an alarum caused a
cracked mirror
i got confused by the sound
i turned around and touched it from a distance
and then it fell to the ground
loud cry from the shallows
lust feeds on the fear
walls crack under pressure
i think the end is getting near
and in my mind was the fury of a madness
that consecrated the dirt
i stumbled through the enigma of the reason
and celebrated the hurt
and then i found through an act of desperation
a subtle rip in the heart
i was seduced by the fear of devastation
and then it tore me apart
oh no, nothing matters
when it takes me
when it rapes me, breaks me
shakes me down
a quick escape from the edge of commination
i slept the night with my spleen
a vain excuse, i was searching for some answers
i broke away from the scene
because after all animality's an instinct
and it's luxuria's slave
to taste the truth, it's a seizure of the senses
and it's a foot in the grave
