lyrics

Stars shoot from the manifest mind; honeymoon on high, The leverage of the pushing root and the menu of the sky, Tangled like a dictionary; the poetry of machine, The night renders excuse for what the meaning has to mean, Burning angels hit the ground in the violence of the flame, Deathbed lyric in geometric tongue give the all a name, The horizon of the color takes a nickel from the way, The grinding metal gears of the clock behind the day, Creation credits violence; nebulas nuptial grace, Soul of sex and numbers filling up this space, Radiation hunger; the mass of silence thrives, The broken bones of Eden when the innocence arrives, Diabolical molecules; helix of temptation, Ipso facto flesh; code of all sensation, Images find shape in the brain of the manifest mind, Except for the shadow build the light left undefined.

Braced against the heartbeat-bone real shape runs the doubt, Between the is; was and will in the ever kill without, Organic textures feed the friction of the landscape void, Flight eludes the wing when the weather is annoyed, Oceans of extraneous essence crowd the matter's weave, Simulated anatomy with its process of to believe, Inanimate motives address the protege of light, Particle dreams are born in the nucleus of the night, Transubstantiation; the energy for the blood, Petal perfect limbs belie the chaos of the bud, Vision stalks the mystery’s map for the matrix of the why, The void; supporting vault for the integrity of the sky, Art finds color in the wavering woe; celebrating gods and falls, Lost in deeper context calling the spectrum of the laws, Pregnant with the truth she breeds the unborn meaning, And the cradle of the grave is all upon this weaning.
