A Tapestry of Scabs and Skin

I have seen his sideways plans Waist band snaps Surface All is good in blood and gold A Tapestry of Scabs and Skin Sweet breath shiver Less she claim blood is cold So the tyrant Much adieu for such a little man Inheritor of the will of snakes Divider reaching out his hand Defiler belly of the fates The Tyrant Trace back to his birth And the afterbirth was his purse Conquered lands by age of ten Twice wrong never again At least that's how his side is told Foam and lip's Edge Inheritor of the will of snakes Divider reaching out his hand Defiler belly of the fates The Tyrant

Precious glittering harvest Crystal sun Fueling great ambitions Act now Time is finite Bury them, bring up the wealth Abudance Send good news back home Bask in the vastness Blast after blast caverns collapse Blast after blast diamonds to ash Decades gone and the cargoes home Fueling great ambitions Silo run low Unveil as the dust clears Gasp at the emptiness Diamonds to ash the hopeful at last Receive their rewards Open the hatch, show us your stash This crown won't pay for itself We should be kings now, sultans Instead we have nothing Wasted years for Jetpack Woodshed Diamonds It traveled, it broke down Worthless Our debt only grows Gathered up those who burn Garbage food, toys unused struggle by, settle in Burrow

The pressure crushes all but what can't be seen Undress her stirring the seismic debris Steel hands seek discovery To plunge through the mantel and to swim in a sea beyond sea In sea's beyond seas remain at ease Now steady as the weight wages in at the seams Deeper and deeper to be where no man has yet been Fending off delirious dreams To plunge through the mantel and to sink in a sea beyond sea In sea's beyond seas remain at Our glory now lies in our legend and our bodies are swallowed in sleep Now sleep Scrimshaw, ghosts of eden, Underbelly's reef Built on bones drawn downward To the deep Sulfur now rises as smoke as you push on your final gate Revealed, unbarred Push on 300 more feet and prepare for your chest to ache Now you're inside her and she's taken the breath that you'll need And you'll sleep.

I wilt, I thrive Pillarist not without strife Beyond man, beyond time Transcendent, mortal life Hands tapping on the window White prying eyes This grand intrustion brings me to a Violent stride Face disappears in ripples Glass melts aside Skin will bake slow Like fruit left on the vine Lie low you're letting them raise False confidence will fail in stride What wisdom without time comes of age But what good's time not spent at all I wilt, I thrive pillar Void of a bruise Hold fast Highest eyes
