Prophylactic

I'm caught between the ebb and flow
Of deception
The moral and the vice
Taking hold of me

I saw her leaving at the cove
Left a message
Tethered to the home
Unholy company

Beyond the vision of the soul
Sublimating
Pleasure to behold
Or any other thing

She's lost the feeling in her bones
Oscillating
Terror with the known

The choir melts into the wall
And your unforgiving arms
Can't suspend the pressure
And you fall asleep and cry the whole way home

I'm the reason and the cause
Kept you guessing
Cleaner than the thoughts
Calling out to me

Took to bleeding from the palm
Begged for blessings
The ones you can't afford

She looked to me and through the past
Led the present
Beyond my able grasp
To boundless entropy

Opted to drink from heaven's bowl
Til you vanish
On reason's golden horse

The violent consumes the calm
And the dreamer falls apart
Infinite repression
And it always seems to find its way back home

I think
I found someone really neat
He isn't too loud, quite discreet
Don't feel bad about our thing not working out
I mean
You can't say you're getting mad
You even paused to pray out loud
Just relax and enjoy how this plays out
It's nice
That we're still such fleeting friends
When lying naked on the bed
Was lame and everything that I made out
To mean
That our hearts will never sink
Tie our hands to quilted sheets
Don't feel bad
Don't feel bad

You know that it's time for me to sleep
Wake me up before you leave
Just be glad
Just be glad
That I found someone out there
