lyrics

I am the sun smiling over you
Among the billows
And rendezvous with shame

I am the flower breathing into you
From the belly of an animal insane

And I am the shroud that cloaks your dream

The demon in the park that soaks your seed

I am the gun pointing at the zoo
Where the plumage of the radical expands

I am the lung to which your swallow flew
And the sewage of fanatical demands

And I am the shroud that cloaks your dream

The demon in the park that soaks your seed

The god in your skull will run over you
The devil in your bone will long outlive you

The angel in your soul will only poison you
The spirit in your spleen will end up killing you

And we will all pray for hell
To take us all back home

And we will all wish for the bell
To ring back our sins to save us all

Salvation in the fire meant to keep you
In the embrace of a forever where you’ll burn

Temptation in the flames will always heal you
In the snake of paradise we’ll be reborn

The god in your skull will run over you
The devil in your bone will long outlive you

The angel in your soul will only poison you
The spirit in your spleen will end up killing you

And we will all pray for hell
To take us all back home

And we will all wish for the bell
To ring back our sins to save us all

I have had songs in my soul and mind since childhood in New York. I kept them inside for years, nurturing music as it gestated.

I have now reached a point in my life where I can no longer suppress the music inside me. ... more
