Horizon

A halogen van coughs into the sunset
Passing a resevoir of the depth of time
A wet dream of truth we're not meant to forget
Don't let it leave me behind

Burst into the flames of the sun and combust
Faceless skulls that grin; talking heads with no minds
Throw yourself into the fragrant dust
Don't let it leave me behind

The vessel of the crimson sky
Following the rainbow of infinity
We delve into the soft fruits of forbidden and destined territory

Eyes like the galaxy; fingernails of nothingness
encompassed in that glassy gaze
seeing prisms and comets and holograms
hearing nothing
wave to her as she slips downstream
a river of sympathetic porcupines

I see the one in the lake of your soul
I could dive into its entrancing shine
Ripples in the divine black hole
Don't let it leave me behind

The suns lays a halcyon hand on me
I succumb to its gentle press
It lays me back into the sea
I have no one to thank but she
Don't let her forget.  Signed --
Don't let it leave me behind

The vessel of the crimson sky
Following the rainbow to infinity
Don't let them tell you otherwise
Flow into me; there's something I'd like you to see...
