paint me a river
paint me a river- 
 
 shadow of a solitary cat thrown against the wall 
 tear the solitude asunder; rippling pleasure
 a tale of two cities untold;  
 a coldness plunging three miles deep into antarctia's tears 
 apparition of the latenight goodbyes, 
 repeated verse of a nation wandering 
 i called to the sea of waves; find me within the shadow of empty space; 
 
 wonderland; something caught inside; it can rip apart cities 
 aircrafts taking flight 
 all ends in ash, doomed bliss sings in wind 
 breathe uncertainty and force it down your throat; caught in a tree shuddering
 we have the souls of oak trees humming
 under deceased darkness the clocks are caught counting away the seconds 
 fit in a sigh in every transformation 
 
 a young woman not a child 
 carries the embryo of divinity 
 will cling to the night viciously and refuse to let go 
 will morning rise and she feeds the hours to the lake  
 even Time trembles in this wild wind 
 he drifts in his sea of blood, smiling. 
 trenchant glass to a fatigued consciousness 
 
 
 this is a case of faces
 a house of empty cards 
 a deck wrongfully played 
 to efface all reason in this sinister chime 
 
 manifesto- murder it from within
