In The Black Room Lyrics

In The Black Room lyrics

I was thinking about thinking but it really didn't get me very far,

so I
thought I'd throw a Tarot but I only got the Priestess and the Star.

There's a shadow cast between the future and the past:

the room and I
agree to buy some time...

The cards don't tell truth nor lies,

only
options and cusp lines

the furniture in the black room.

I've been
thinking abour acid, but, it seem there's not a reason tobelieve.

I don't
make a vital breakthrough and it walks me like a dog upon a lead.

It's all
unreal and, the way I feel,

I'd like to try and make it on my own...

Going to the feeling is find:

I really have me a good pleasure
cruise.

But, deep in my mind,

I'm no better or worse, just open to
the walls.

Paint peels in the black of my room

I'm only talking
about myself, ordering my treasure shell,

documenting these present
feelings as the future sets me reeling...

What I'll be is what I am,

I'm simply trying not to sham or fake.

Use vision as sense and not as
crutch!

It doesn't mateer all that much;

whatever happens we'll all
survive.

I'm only trying not to pawn my life.

When I'm (maybe) old
and strait-laced, shall I then deny all that I feel?

In words of bitter
compromise, re-smelt the wrath that's in my eyes

like steel?

Be a
hermit then?

Or be a miser?

Be a man who hasn't managed yet to
write his rules?

The Fool?

The future holds my hand in the
room...

Well, then my ghosts shall steer down through the years

and
lay a hand upon my soul

like ice.
