lyrics

It's my sanata...

moody gloom. it's apocalyptic when the sun sinks
the moon's renewed. just look directly at it and don't blink
lose your cool. become a misfit if you want peace
fuck the light when you're stomach's tight
the blood-thirst is getting ugly
not many pass the brink, retrieve the gold that live in the gallows
we've been watching you hassle with fulfilling your last hopes
and dreams. they're close to me, but they say stay away
the constellations may explain a way to save your fate

you're mine. you know it well
the signs and broken trails
you get so far alone, but then it all explodes
you fight control and tell me I am known to fail
oh, you may never know how far beyond I go

trust...
and lust for the mind-fuckery that makes you blush,
and then crumble from the wonder of Nothing
be what you are and The Eclipse'll make the cup full
it runneth over. a single drip is enough to plummet a drunk for closure

(Ram Dass):
"Just telling you how it is, you know? It's just the way things are.
And so, you kind of get all discouraged, and your faith flickers
because you had the experience you thought you knew.
You took a stance to represent how you thought it was,
and then suddenly it's all dead, and horrible, and ugly, and empty.
And your faith flickers, and you say, 'I lost it.'"

moody gloom. it's apocalyptic when the sun sinks
the moon's renewed. just look directly at it and don't blink
lose your cool. become a misfit if you want peace
fuck the light when you're stomach's tight
the blood-thirst is getting ugly

you're mine. you know it well
the signs and broken trails
you get so far alone, but then it all explodes
you fight control and tell me I am known to fail
oh, you may never know how far beyond I go

suspended, but out of sight.
inhibition and prowess blind to the twisted and crowded eye of a witness.
owls fly to position themselves beneath a crowded sky
my children are ostracized, but magnified when my hand defines...

(Ram Dass):
"And you don't have anything else. It's The Dark Night of The Soul.
And when the trips start to fall away, if you're like me,
you get really feeling angry and depressed, and jipped.
Because you look around at everybody, you see that ignorane is bliss.
It's The Dark Night of The Soul."

It's my sanata...
