Vernal equinox

The black velvet sky drops to the sea
The dull grey knife pierces my tongue
My eyes bulge out with fear
Respectfully ask for pardon or plea
Scratching my eyeballs
The vernal equinox is here

Hear their cry "the war is near"
Invoke the fear inside
The brave subside to asking "why are we here?"
Why are we here?

I the thick cord
Wrapping tightly, squeezing slowly
I the thick blood
Coarsing swiftly, spilling quickly
From my veins
The blood has turned its shade
Again and again and again

The shell is cracked inside your mind
Your eyes are steel, glass, coal
Your life is passing slowly by
And you feel the main

And then they come, and then you go
And then they come
Your life is passing slowly now
Your time it fades
Your eyes are steel, coal, clear as pride
And you know the same
And then they come, and then you go
And then they come
Drive you sane, they cannot drive me sane
Will not drive us sane
Slash the wrists

I long to feel the summer
Black the sun out, feel the snow
Around the circle falling to you
Calling to you, falling, to you
I long to see your eyes
And look inside your deepest mind
The secrets that you hide from me
Turning softly
Do you still want to go?
