King of the Lepers

I have never seen your kingdom
yet I crave your crown
there's a ghost inside the abbey
haunting the saints in me
I am dethroned from my palace
as you turn your gaze from me
and since we're being honest
I really don't feel worthy
its just like any other day I guess
but today I have crowned myself as the
King of the Lepers
I am told there is no Kingdom
outside of myself
yet I just keep reappearing
in my mind of you
thunder moves in through the cloister
as my torch goes out
and in the darkness there's a whisper:
"do not search without”
never really did find our bottom
my mouth drips with poison
wet insect dreams
'could you love me"

Hung From A Tree

I had waited all night
for the dying light
you wrapped your lips around mine
as my soul laid supine
I pulled down the moon
but the sky fell down too
its the most beautiful gift to be given sorrow
she suspended the earth and created water
I sail through my dripping ribcage
the way lit by your effigy
I am dreaming of you screaming “wake up”
I am the Tree that I hang from
to receive this gift I let go

Skin to Jade

I am the beast that I’m afraid of
flesh will turn to gold and bones to jade
don’t even try
there is no gain
you can’t hold the weather
all the saints have died and left unknown
I have seen it all
I moved your mountains but
its all the same
once through the fire to
arrive at the flame
don’t even try
there is no gain
you can’t hold the weather
all the saints have died and left unknown
I have seen it all
creatures crawl from my head yet
all the children play
creatures crawl from my heart and
all the children play

Crack an Eye

Everytime I tear us down
I find armor underground
never seen you crack an eye
until we had crawled by
you
