lyrics

Everyone knows
That the light in your windows
Is only a form of
Ephemeral repose
From a darkness so bottomless,
Velvety wide,
It could eat you alive,
And each night that it don’t,
What a miracle, miracle!

Then the dawn’s paintbox blush
Brushes glorious things!
Is it any surprise
How the light-mongers cling
To the bright cream of life,
Simulacra of winning,
And sweet Soma pretense
What happens come dusk
Is not happening?

All we spy open-eyed
On this side of our dreams
Gets reversed on the retina—
Not not what it seems.
Double negatives dance
Through the optics of mind.
In the cloth of perception,
Weave warp and weft true,
But the twist’s a lie.

Ooo the way you reverse
Through my eyes, then my mind—
You’re the kind of light-liar
That I like to like.
Might I twist the illusion of you
For a spell?
Might I make like the light,
Take a dive down the well
Of those seraphinite irises?
