Soul Shedding or Swallowed by Darkness

about

Cut out, Outsider Art. This song was started during the Outsider Art sessions and never finished. I finished writing the lyrics on the date indicated and finished the recording in Dec. 2014.

lyrics

I know now it's over,
I know now it's gone,
I knew by my verses,
I knew by my song,
The cares of my making,
Have fled with my soul,
I don't give a god damn,
If the world digs its hole.

Time to shed this burden,
Time to shed this skin,
I was your best lover,
And I'll be yours again.

Ageless and timeless,
My beauty to bear,
I thought with my money,
I sold out of my share,
The moments we measure,
The time that I lost,
Such a slight paradise,
At so heavy a cost.

Time to shed this burden,
Time to shed this skin,
I was your best lover,
And I'll be yours again.

My being lost in rapture to my bones,
Metamorphosis of my light,
Volcanic virgins will not feed this god,
Swallowed by the darkness in my night.

I know now it's over,
I know now it's gone,
I knew by my verses,
I knew by my song.

Time to shed this burden,
Time to shed this skin,
I was your best lover,
And I'll be yours again.
