lyrics

The anesthetic won't wear off.
Your shadow's dreaming blood dissolves,
such an obscene murmuring pulse.

Pupils dilated like suns eclipsed,
it's too cold to feel how numb
you've become—your own mime's tongue.

Youth is just a phantom limb,
absence its only pseudonym—
crucified clock-hands museum.

You've buried all your shovels now—
curtains drawn, hiding in the house
from shadows wandering around.

It's all you're wondering about...
