Alarum

I took a slide, slipping down a staircase A Piranesian dream My senses reeled distorted about the darkness I lit my way with a scream And in the rave an alarum caused a cracked mirror I got confused by the sound I turned around and touched it from a distance And then it fell to the ground Loud cry from the shallows Lust feeds on the fear Walls crack under pressure I think the end is getting near And in my mind it was the furry of a madness That consecrated the dirt I stumbled through the enigma of it's reason And celebrated the hurts And then I found in an act of desperation A subtle rip in the heart I was seduced by the taste of devastation And then it tore me apart Loud cry from the shallows Lust feeds on the fear Walls crack under pressure I think the end is getting near Oh no, nothing matters When it takes me Where it rapes me, breaks me Shakes me down A quick escape from the fear of commination I slept the night with a spleen A thin excuse, I was searching for some answers I broke away from the scene 'Cause after all animality's an instinct And its luxurious slave To taste the truth, it's a seizure of the senses And its a foot in the grave Loud cry from the shallow Lust feeds on the fear Walls crack under pressure I think the end is getting near Oh no, nothing matters When it takes me Where it rapes me, breaks me Shakes me down Oh no, nothing matters When it takes me Where it rapes me, breaks me Shakes me down Oh no, nothing matters When it takes me Where it rapes me, breaks me Shakes me down
