lyrics

do you founder at the glee that roars
thru open doors, broken, stiff, and brittle?

do you lurch in corners taunted by
the gyring mass whose rhythm stomps your riddle?
do you shrink from the sensuous invitation
to share some synderetic transmutation
lockt as the laws
gnaw’n off your paws
cataloguin flaws
you’re so dead certain all see but none admire?
slow may you run thru the fire

are you draggled in the dissonance
tween perfect thought and speech that mocks the speaker?
are you crusht by quick encroaching walls
as panic screams, “Lo, the babbling cheater”
are you froze in dysphasic indecision
before your eager, open-eared ambition
lame to your love
hungry for the dust
head-buttin at the hush
you cannot conquer for all that you desire?
slow may you run thru the fire

shy the seed that surges from the stud
shy the child who’s crownin thru the blood
shy all raucous being unbegun

you can speak your mind thru me
and all your words will be
pure as providant lust

i’m gonna throw my voice thru you
and stage a d’etat coup
that the shusher shall be shusht

so you hunch in postures scrutinized
to proffer you the least excessive presence
so you stifle every impetus
that threatens to decrease your obsolescence
so you heave in the darkness desperate seekin
the reason that the daylight leaves you weepin
blind by their stares
wishin you weren’t theirs
ever unprepared
to face the judgment your innocence inspires
slow may you run thru the fires

shy the snow that settles on the tongue
shy the breeze that blusters to the lung
shy the four the three the two the one

you can roam freeform thru me
and from captivity
you’ll burst like the first surprise

i’m gonna scrunch up tight to you
and loosen every screw
that binds you paralyzed

you can live your life thru me
and my obscurity
will hide you when you shine

i'm gonna give my life to you
and all you’re dyin to do
we're gonna rush it right on time
