would you help me find the way out of here?
would you help me find the way out
of this land i roam, annexed by fear
where a seething pulse beats throughout
she said
"do you really wanna go?
and what is it you think you know?
sometimes an illusion
can be more real and defined
than a reality hollowed"
i want out
the air is too sweet here
and right now your eyes
they speak like mouths
they say
"you don't really wanna go"
no, i don't really wanna go
but i know the difference
always felt the distance
and it's all
it's all i'll ever know
i want out

Solemn and Low

stinking like a wound
a life so soiled it festers
wearing the worn
but cordial face
of a greeted leper
locking eyes with black youths
in sunday clothes
if there was a hope for me
it's already been blown
up on the fire escape
sits a toothless man
holding a filterless cigarette
with what's left of his hand
and i'm down below
sulking in a shadow
there's a voice that calls out
solemn and low
i can't place a name
or recall a face
but it sounds like home
it sounds like home
it repeats a question
one i can't let go
"if today were the day
would you smile or groan?"
i can't recall
that far back
a few hours
and my memory falls off track
but i remember
despite fugue and nether
a voice that greeted me
solemn and low
a voice that welcomed
what all others bemoaned

you say you can have it and you want it all
i see you swell, you want it all
i feel for the door i want out
your eyes are bulging now
this whole room stinks something foul
your hair is falling out
my eyes are watering now
as i fall to the ground
poisoned by perversion
a scourge
soured and sore
he's hurting
for a new warmth
and a new war
because when it's quiet
he can hear it all
sounds from down the hall
and the voices carry
but none ever beckon for his call
and then it all went white
a sharp, youthful blade of light
it cut me in two
and now i bleed
for you
so give him what he wants
