Of Blood and Wine - Eye of the Enemy

Light the fuse

And break bread with the one you keep slightly bemused

Make your peace

As you piece together platitudes for the deceased

Bray

For blood and closure

For hope and wine

Forgiveness clandestine

Induced ennui

I will save for myself naught but a fraction

(Could be better)

Could be worse

Just ignore where the skin starts to bubble and burst

Dance through the storm

Your only options are to drown or to die of thirst

Bray

For blood and closure

For hope and wine

Forgiveness clandestine

Induced ennui

Rats heads!

Rats heads!

(as a type of control and couture)

Rats heads!

Rats heads!

(as a token of gratitude)

They’ve never tried to speak, they’ve never deigned to listen

What we took as mystique was fucking noxious obsolescence

That part of me that seeks something of a vestibule to funnel Torture into truth

Slice the sick in me out

Sway

Sway

Sway

Sway

Such a lackluster formative day

Stay

Away

And let slip the dogs as they

Bray

For blood and closure

For hope and wine

Forgiveness clandestine

Induced ennui

Expose the wound

And let leak an inkling of verbal refuse

Sink the blade

Into the body of the babe that you wanted to turn into

Burn

As I breathe only fire can help me

Burn

As I breathe only fire can help me
