Alarum

I took a slide, slipping down a staircase

A Piranesian dream

My senses reeled distorted about 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 it was the furry of a madness

That consecrated the dirt

I stumbled through the enigma of it's reason

And celebrated the hurts

And then I found in an act of desperation

A subtle rip in the heart

I was seduced by the taste of devastation

And then it tore me apart

Loud cry from the shallows

Lust feeds on the fear

Walls crack under pressure

I think the end is getting near

Oh no, nothing matters

When it takes me

Where it rapes me, breaks me

Shakes me down

A quick escape from the fear of commination

I slept the night with a spleen

A thin excuse, I was searching for some answers

I broke away from the scene

'Cause after all animality's an instinct

And its luxurious slave

To taste the truth, it's a seizure of the senses

And its a foot in the grave

Loud cry from the shallow

Lust feeds on the fear

Walls crack under pressure

I think the end is getting near

Oh no, nothing matters

When it takes me

Where it rapes me, breaks me

Shakes me down

Oh no, nothing matters

When it takes me

Where it rapes me, breaks me

Shakes me down

Oh no, nothing matters

When it takes me

Where it rapes me, breaks me

Shakes me down
