The Manifold Curiosity Lyrics

The Manifold Curiosity

It never hurt this much before,

And I feel I'm courting Saturn.

The
Twelve-Eyed Secret gazes through a prism,

Staring into raindrops swirling
slow

It lifts its horrible heads

With lidless orbs of limitless
vision.

I dream with fluid movements in a lake

The ripples cast
from skipping stones

We speak below a gushing mind,

Crouching in a
corner, hid behind a box

Full of Worms and stalking shadows.

Magnetism draws me to a cone of space;

I sift still through hours of
its plasma,

Biding time until the clocks collapse.

Music shattered
my spine on the steps outside;

I cannot move; my liquid breathing

Is sculpted with this binding gel.

But come, my love, and rescue me

From failure.

Cover me with an opium sheet,

Embrace me with
gossamer;

Kiss the moonstones from my eyes

And brush the cobwebs
from my bones.

It all sings beautifully;

With all your strength
believe this.

But I know you can't understand

Why I threw myself
from the glass again.
