Dm7 Dm
When I was a child they made me read
Dm7 Dm
word-daggers of quiver and squirm;
Dm7 Dm
now in the stumbling dark I see
Dm7 Dm Am E7
I am a worm, silently fruiting your garden,
Am Em
my sister, my child.
Dm7 Dm Dm7 Dm
Night casts ominous meanings on the purity of my soul
Dm7 Dm Dm7 Dm
I feel devilish leanings I'm beginning to lose control
Fm/f (Fm/g#) Am Am(+d) G(+c)
and the vortex sucks me in.
Am G G#
Steeped in sin I die
d Dm7 Dm D7 Dm
but am reborn.
d Dm7 Dm D7 Dm d Dm7 Dm D7 Dm
I want to see the cosmos slip,
planets and moons collide,
feel gravity lose its grip...
it's all inside
All the dead husks are shattered,
my life-blood, my world ripped apart
in the laughter of space
it's all chaff blown out and lost.
Now I am making the pace
although I don't know what tape I'll cross...
maybe catastrophe.
When I cross the line
I know that I will find myself
or maybe you.
ACAPELLA:
I am a man from the country of destruction,
I am a man a woman and a god,
I am my own weapon of kamikaze
and will one day cut through the
hidden knot
d Dm7 Dm D7 Dm d Dm7 Dm D7 Dm
Dm7 Dm
Feed me honey and watch me rise
Dm7 Dm
to the bait lying on the knife;
Dm7 Dm Dm7 Dm
if you let me I can hypnotise your life.
Am E7
It's all really so simple,
Am Em(+f)
my lover, my twin.
Dm7 Dm
Hand in hand, sprinting down the highway,
Dm7 Dm
running over the edge,
Dm7 Dm
on and on into our doomsday;
Dm7 Dm
there is no saving ledge
Fm/f (Fm/g#) Am G
nor outgrown shrub.
