1.
pale gold dust floods the air beneath our wings waltzing around between the roofs and the sills all love consumed, all spirit spent, all words useless from a distance, blossoming flowers of light glowing in circles for your memory to keep just for a moment of bliss we thought would never come vibrates and shakes, the sky has turned into fire (the limping fox stopped in the middle of the street staring at the ruffling leaves, then made his way to the east until he fell out of sight) don't ask me now what you know is unknowable water your cheeks with tiny ethereal tears all love consumed, all spirit spent, all words useless float in mid air before the bright sunset lights up our feathers the eyes that i gave you and they explode in splinters of stars and white heat how will it feel like to dive in head first?
2.
nobody knows, nobody hears when i call out neither in wake or in my somber slumber hours leave me to heaven, leave me to heaven how can i know what breed i am? how will he find out where i roam and where i stand? and whence i got this sword and sense? leave me to heaven, leave me to heaven that's how it ends: he sees me crawl away my crystal heart will never yield to sterile hate leave me to heaven, leave me to heaven outloud the fury in my flesh melt the ice that made me blind wage a war to speak the truth send signals through the waves tolling bells of desire i remember everything wage a war to bring light in hadal zone and forgive me for my hibernation leave me to heaven, leave me to heaven
3.
all i love, all i feed from everything i'd give my life for my desire, my ecstasy burn them all to coal and embers let the community of men ostracize me like a leper let the sweet company of friends turn their back in scorn and anger cupio dissolvi to black cause it's you that i adore all i long for, all i need my delights, my pleasure my will be undone thy will spread my legs apart let the sun not shine on me till i rot in a cold gangrene nature recoil from my touch the air i breath be hard as rock cupio dissolvi to black cause it's you that i adore
4.
Then all these curses shall come upon thee and overtake thee: And ye shall be wasted from off the land whither thou goest to enjoy it. And thy life shall hang before thee, and thou shalt fear both day and night and shalt have no trust in thy life. For fear of thine heart which thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

Misplaced 07:25
i took my armour off as the silent woods lay all covered with snow joy wanted eternity but the time ran out and left nothing behind and i want to scream all my love and despair but i can't find my mouth, i can't find my mouth and i'd bang my head on every wall that i see but no blood would come out, no blood would come out and i can walk the seas to the edge of the world but everywhere i'm misplaced, everywhere i'm misplaced frost makes a second skin to keep me warm for the winters to come i yield to nothingness and the days go by and truth will never come out
6.
down in a crevice with parchment eyelids no dew on your skin, no fire on your tongue invisible, invisible black hole endlessly filled with void take all you can and let the hounds loose invisible hounds of sorrow, invisible hounds of pain demons fluttering all around the ghost of a smile invisible hounds grinding their teeth to keep hold of your mortal remains as the wind tosses them up, up and away for evermore for evermore, for evermore the ice storm in london town made one more innocent casualty choked on tears of pleasure, one borrowed book and piano chords there's no light left, no way back, just invisible hounds of sorrow of sorrow, of sorrow but all the streets and the corners we treaded on remember you the kind words and the tables and the silence that we owned standing still in the winter cold under a necklace of stars and leaves of stars and leaves, of stars and leaves
