We need not snow,
Or electrical glow.
It's not a matter of weather,
Because we're together.
...
Cup of Ashes here tonight
Here to talk of my damnable plight
Lost in tears, lost in flight
Without sound, without sight
...
We've a heart that beats
But only between the sheets.
We've hands that wander
With a fattened hunger.
...
Are we so very different
From the ones we accuse?
From the killer to the bad parent
Does their pain us ammuse?
...
Last thread
Last dread
One more blow
You can call me dead
...
There's a secret intrusion
Deep down in my soul
It has revealed an illusion
And uncovered a hole
...
Scratching and scribblings
The idealists hatchlings
But do we have an idea or clue
About the what and the who?
...
Darkness shrouds that floating shack
An evil cold it does not lack
I close my eyes and don't look back
...
Are we digging for what doesn't exist?
Why in this manner do we persist?
On what notion do we insist
That this jewel is there in the mist?
...
It's all very simple,
Quite simple, of course.
Not a matter of gravity
Or centrifigal force.
