lyrics

the colour begins to move
slowly around me
at 360º it disappears from sight.
now broken, it forms into
a long silver crescent moon
(actually a knife).
it skewers me at 4:52, before dawn--
a single strike.

a daughter, a demon, a noble, a knave;
a butcher, a bitch, a seller, a slave...
i do not remember the title they gave.

the numbers lose all meaning;
i can't stay awake.
the cancer within begins debilitating me.
i am exactly as i seem--
a backwards, illusory dream.
i am a mind apart from my own mind.
i am held in by no dimension.
i grow bored with your manic pretension.
i grow hungry and scared--
but no-one comes.

i'm not a good martyr;
i'm not a good friend.
but i'll believe in my lost cause
before i'll ever believe in yours--
which means i'll never believe in you.
and i feel, i feel all i feel...
