Joy

An injection of orphaned light
Mixes
Dissolves
Fades from sight
Soaked into sheets of shivering meat
Stripped between beats
By the screech and the squeal
The screech and the squeal
Of disjointed dismembered days

By the absent regret of the room
By the absent regret of the room
With the smiling doll seconds swept into dust
Footsteps flinch through the gloom
Footsteps flinch through the gloom
Under the stump of a seeping moon
Under the stump of a seeping moon

The walls splutter inwards
The dolls lose their eyes
A body is somewhere
Polluted by sweat
A mind inside rammed deep into night
Chewed up with the cold
From the scratch of some breath
The scrape of some fingers around this skin
Stretching each sob out to find a way in
And time knows how long
The present goes on
It isn't over yet

Bleached driftwood bones stuck through
Obsolete meat
An incomplete mind
Where a single song plays on repeat
In a maze of locked doors
Thoughts gather
Like whores

Bleached driftwood bones stuck through
Obsolete meat
An incomplete mind
Where a single song plays on repeat
In a maze of locked doors
Thoughts gather
Like whores

A cry beyond rain
Beyond dawn
Alone
And time is a four letter word
A cry beyond rain
Beyond dawn
Alone
And nothing could have heard

The room is untouched
Shouts come from the street
From the children playing at living
And splashing in puddles
Right under your feet

In the world you can never enter
In the world you can never leave
In a world so red
So blue
So grey
That threw the child in you away

A world you can never enter
The world you can never leave
A world so red
So blue
So grey
That threw the child in you away

That threw the child in you away
That threw the child in you away
That threw the child in you away
