lyrics

"Gardens in hothouse glass, towers in regress.
A thousand and one delights march incandesced.
Pineal fireworks in the mouth of hell.
The tortoise collapses under the jewels on its shell.

Does it matter at all what ecstasies pass?
Tell me a story and wave me to rest,
Sickened by pale desire in night blooming climes,
So long as you wake me up at the end of time.

Zap-lamp wiggling among the creeps
Of inland sea taxonomy.
And every flash turned up so proud,
When you're tired of that now.
Invisible inside my heart.
Drowned city transit authority.
Blanket fort in a whirlpool.
I'm sorry.

The ear listens to itself. The pen tears the screed,
And scribbles the page beneath with heaven's greed.
Let's pit realities against ideals.
Never been happier ~ in realms unreal."
