Down where this ugly man
|
Seeks his sustenance
|
Down in the blue, midnight flare
|
A glass hand cuts through the water
|
Scything into his twisted roots
|
Then from his eyes
|
Spring fireflies
|
Breathing life
|
Into a roaring disguise
|
|
Needles and sins, sins and needles
|
He's gasping for air
|
In the wishing well
|
Dust to rust, ashes on gashes
|
Hand around the killing jar
|
Hand around the killing jar
|
|
A soft hoodwink of shadows
|
The size of make-believe
|
Punching through his spike of rage
|
A glass hand cuts through the water
|
Snuffing out the magic fury
|
|
Then from inside
|
Bolt lightning cries
|
Swiftly crushed
|
The final, muffled sighs
|
|
Needles and sins, sins and needles
|
He's gasping for air
|
In the wishing well
|
|
Dust to rust, ashes on gashes
|
Hand around the killing jar
|
Hand around the killing jar
|
