lyrics

Immerse me
In jubilant flames
With iridescent tongue
Lick away the skin
Don’t dare be kind
Paralyze me in paraffin
And spark the match

Teach me to tear chitin back
To flirt with fear
To tunnel through from a new morning womb
To splay out anew
Coarse and naked as the truth
Each digit like a compass pole
Glowing starlike in the white hot heat

I will coax you out
Like vermin hiding
In every crawl space in your heart
And you’ll flow out, blinding

An opalescent river
Molten being of vigor
Hurtling toward oblivion
I passed straight through the eye and screamed
May we all be

When I reach for you
When I stretch out my arms
And beg your guide
You should know
I speak not to you
There is no you
You never were
I speak to me - I command me

I see you clear as the dawn
There’s no more hiding now
I feel the ache that gnaws at your heel
Did you think this was any less than fate?

Feel your spring boiling up from the black
Like the eyes of a bride beneath her veil

Ecstatic and resolute
Abduct the absolute
Dismember the deceiver
And rise
Bury your mask and burn
