lyrics

you are in your personal space a slipstream dilettante suddenly the undertow the tug of the medium’s otherworldly tongue awakes and tries a timid hello oh no you are possessed to translate dead potential in panic you pray to the pagan god of paradox flaming drool pooling at your feet the divine reply is a sparse slow intensifying ache I am the earth and the earth quakes you seek solace from the guru of human empathy over in the slums of burnt-out compassion and it says I am the self-made self-depraved dracula the modern esp thespian on the stage of the one the whole the sacred beautiful perception of others what’s my name vulnerability I will soothe diffuse the torrential nothing in mere exchange for the proof the dilapidated glue of existence the blubber of the great white whale you seek advice from the doctor of the rational libertine over in the desert on the intellectual side of life it hovers in the mirage of a breakthrough and cries I exorcist of an idle typhoon will quench the broken thirst for growth and pluck the stone of madness mid-bloom my only fee is that you find the key to the mind of a flawless ecosystem to capsize fear and reverse engineer the cold decaying carcass of the great white whale you are hunting moby dick you cast your anchor on the glass ceiling in the stain glass sea of unrequited all and there she blows the value of living at the brim the crashing eclipse of your capacity you release the spear and faintly hear music like the first moment of penetration breaks and scatters your sobriety breaks and scatters transfixed you feel the ecstasy of being the over-ripe thrall of tasting all the primordial ocean has to offer but simmer and recede transcendental stasis sinks with the great white whale and you are in your personal space
