lyrics

I.... FAIL TO REMEMBER SIGNIFICANT ERAS OF LIFE
FROM WHOM I EVOLVED
BUT INTO THE FAR BEYOND...
TROUBLED MIND REMEMBERS THE FEAR
FEAR OF THE MUMBLING MAN (MUMBLES)
SCARS ON MY SKIN FROM JOSHUA LEAVES
RECALLING A MEMORY OF HIDING IN TREES
LICKING THE WOUNDS
ALL CAN SEE THAT THESE CUTS STILL BLEED
I SLUMBERED UPON THE DECEASED
IN THE SAFETY OF DARKNESS

PAROXYSM OF HAZE
THE MIDNIGHT FOG
COLLECTS UPON MY BROW
HAVE I NEVER BEEN MORE ALONE
OR AFRAID THAN RIGHT NOW?
COWERED IN THEIR RETICENCE
AN OMINOUS CALL
SHOCKING MY SENSES
FROM THEIR OBLONG BOX

INQUISITIVE HOUND
SIGNALS IN SILENCE
IT MUST BE OLD CLATTERBONES
SHIFTING STONES ON THE BLACK HORIZON
WHERE NARY A TOAD MAY CROAK

I FOUND DRY BONES
(BENEATH THE SAND)
I MADE AN OSSUARY
OF SCATTERED REMAINS
(AMONGST THE DEAD)
AT PALMDALE CEMETERY

I REFLECT ON A MOMENT OF ANGER
YOU WENT FROM HERO TO COWARD
TO MAKE STILL THE BREATH OF A CHILD
CRUSHING WEIGHT OF THE STYGIAN BLACK

NOW I REMEMBER SIGNIFICANT ERAS OF LIFE
AND HOW I EVOLVED
BOY AND A DESERT ROSE
STRANGLED IN ANGER TRAMPLED TO DUST
TRAMPLED DOWN INTO THE SAND
SMASHED
LIKE THE MAN AND THE SPOTTED MARE
UPON THE TRAIL, SUREFOOTED AND CALM
FELLED BY A WASP, DESCENDED TO DEATH (DEATH)

ALL CAN SEE THAT THESE CUTS STILL BLEED
I SLUMBERED UPON THE DECEASED
IN THE SAFETY OF DARKNESS

I PUT MY HAND ON THE BLACK STONE HORSESHOE
WHERE EMERY AND WHIRLY LAY
AMIDST DECAY, STILL TO THIS DAY
AS IF NOTHING HAS CHANGED
YET ALL OF THE PAIN REMAINS

I FOUND DRY BONES
(BENEATH THE SAND)
THEY’VE MADE ME OH SO WEARY
OF ALL THAT REMAINS
(WITHIN MY HEAD)
OF PALMDALE CEMETERY
