lyrics

Two characters (A & C) upon a balcony. A storm approaches.

A. Rapture, my rapture, my delight, its shallow bounds
As limitless as imagination’s dull end,
It is this hard spur that invigorates my life.
But here, this raging cold, tempestuous in its might,
To you it is that I open my perfect arms
And beg for the urge of meaning.

C. Everyday I
Find my way to flaccid worth and back again,
Over countries peeled free of natures binding chords
And left morose to sit content in their freedom,
Over palaces watched by hordes shrouded in hush,
And ever is unkind in a jar of trapped flies.
Each muted liberty is hidden in sick light,
Each hour comes lightly and leaves naught but tangled mess
Strewn over and again with the breath of stolen lies
Inherited cheaply, with mere pennies to show
For every gleeful sorrow that has passed these lips.
Still, in unrest lurks coarse desire, unwilling to
Bond my arms, knowing that these chains – they are not chains.
