alarum

i took a slide

slipping down a staircase

a piranesian dream

my senses reeled

distorted about the darkness

a 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 that was the furry of a madness

that consecrated the dirt

i stumbled through the enigma of the reason

and celebrated the hurt

and then i found in an act of desperation

a subtle rip in the heart

i was seduced by the fear of devastation

and then it tore me apart

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 my spleen

a thin exuse

i was searching for some answers

i broke away from the scene

because after all animality's an instinct

and its luxuria's slave

to taste the truth

it's a seizure of the senses

and its a foot in the grave
