distorted laughing ambience
galathaea
another carcinogenic river sublimation
one more gasoline foetus salvation
as the cirrus form a film across the sky
then it all sinks beyond
when the crush falls
and i don't want to remember
(but sometimes its hard to forget)
slipping through reflections
of a time i destroyed myself
when reasons only pointed to regret
trapped in a world abandoned
to a growing tide of disease
and everything flows
through a sewage plant
processing the waste as the pipes start to freeze
i don't believe in forever
(i don't believe in myself)
flipping through the pages
of a war-torn atrocity
sliding down a rotten bookshelf
and through the fog lies
a memory i used to dream
in shattered still-frame pieces
of the little girl i used to be
and no one ever told me
just how fucked up this place could seem
no one ever told me it's ok
or showed me how
or took my hand and led me
no one ever cared
and sifting through the leaves
piled high beneath the maple tree
i can't seem to find someone to share
and you were just a little boy
last time i
i was dancing like a ballerina in the early spring winds
when you
you smiled and laughed
as the clouds collapsed into brilliant stars in your eyes
as i
for just a moment
(for the last moment ever)
felt free enough
to smell the birth in the breeze
