For A.K. and J.B.

lyrics

Down, go underground.
You close a door
the curtains, too.
Buried in your head -
Don't make a sound in there, where it's heartless, bare.

When are you gonna say my darlin'
When are you gonna stay
my darlin'

Make us writhe, anxieties.
Lie through my teeth dare I be speaking!
Shut inside, reclining next to me:
Envisioning a mystery all eternity!

Why not behave? obey! oh, body!
Wanting to see you love somebody, now.
I can't put my finger on, can't pin the real thing down
Does it make a sound?

When you've gone away from me
My true heart, like a child, will whine "abandoned"
Wonder if it still believes in true love?
Are the passions and the muses spent?

Or is it since you've gone away from me
Painful discrepancies feel damn naive?
Clothe them in an air of make-believe.
Just like a woman, I am asking for it

Find your beauty truly wondrous
Oh princely muse, my priestly Aramis
Seeing you with Anastasia's eyes
Her silent "cry, woman cry"
or "give it away!"
(If you find fault, then lacerate)

I'm down on my knees, I'll buck and I'll bray
Hey
We know our mistakes,
but never what to erase.
I touched the place where I lay languishing eyes upon!

And it was soft
and it was warm
I was afraid
wanted to pray a Miserere Nobis

All of the things I'm fortifying
make the head thick, the fortress iron
When are we gonna break,
or dying try?
I can't put my finger on
can't pin the real thing down
cause it's underground

Down, sick wicked man
Keep company with Judas
yearn to come alive, clad in a sheet
and late at night receive full the mysteries

There was a great white mountainous silent wind of your eyes!
Where is the light that's inside you, my darling?
Fighting to find and keep it alight-
For fear we've forsaken the kindling in our folly!

Folly,
to be waiting for you in death!
