My Kismet lay in the babble of my phantasm.
Cathode dreaming,
Elemental substance,
Cathode dreaming,
Elemental substance,
Sustenance I thought...
Notated in the empty bottles, and drowned lemons.
Virulent vine,
deadly ivy,
choking the crocus...
Choking me.
My vindications came in the night,
under the yelp of mourning dogs,
And the spasms of my weak humanity,
Releasing my soul to fresh gardens
And spiritual peace.
