| Negate background noise Make love to a silent room With back-breaking poise And her half-melted smiles She lies Forever's heartbeat Time divided by the end Designer bedsheets And her cold blackened pillows She sighs Masquerade dinners and dances and balls Bloody ring fingers and bathroom stalls Shut out the world, shut out the light Take out the trash, break out the night Take on the world, turn off the lights Shut in the trash, inflict the night Shut in the trash, inflict the night Berate what appears Deny roots of everyday The glass is half-clear And her skin witholds lava She cries Speak to Gemini Truthful means to a cold end Bury the fire And her soft antiquities She tries Masquerade dinners and dances and balls Bloody ring fingers and curtain calls Shut out the world, shut out the light Take out the trash, break out the night Take on the world, turn off the lights Shut in the trash, inflict the night Shut in the trash, inflict the night Caressing the sores An unknown veil drops in place Lock the half-closed doors And her red intricacy She hides She dies |
