Leviathan

I've traded my stillness
For the new century's illness now
It hungers, it's aching
A leviathan waiting down
It waits for the day
I surrender to the waves and drown
But Inside, it's blinding
It's bent and it's winding
In each sacred
And each desecrated space
But if I catch it and brand it
I'll still half understand it
'Cause I can see where it goes
But I can't see where it came
And I've become a relic
Faithless, but ascetic now
I've got nothing to write on
It's just candles and ikons around
But the closer you see it
The less the word means anyhow
But Inside, it's blinding
It's bent and it's winding
In each sacred
And each desecrated space
But if I catch it and brand it
I'll still half understand it
'Cause I can see where it goes
But I can't see where it came
Holy libertine scholar
I'm trading my collar now
For where I can lay between the trees
Put my lips right to the stream
And drink it down
