Stored in the recesses of our minds We watched and we wept Until there were no tears left to Grace their wrinkled faces
A flame flickers, burns, and dies But the compulsions won't let him pass It's always been there, the ghost It's always been whispering Weaving threads of obsession
This endless famine of the joys, And the sorrows are there too, This complexion hides them all Unraveling the sanctuaries slowly And burning the cathedrals quietly
