The Tower
So:onto the familiar top steps! In cloud-scud moonlight glow The Tower reels. I, the blind man, Feeling for a path I know... Don't you know that I'm only feeling for how to feel?
Rats run. Snakes coil. Fathers Stare out at the whispering night; Rub mud on their arms.
Spiders. Mud boils. Children Whimper in the human vortex; Faces glow of worms.
THUNDER Silence. Omens...
I think it's coming, All signs are very near, all signs are that Pain shall come And change shall run Down through my heart And shake my knees And now it is coming, All around is the humming Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Of the World.
Too late, with my balance gone, Dead-eyed doll, I'm falling, falling Back to where I began...
(In the) Black Room... continued
I'm feeling like a kid again, I'm feeling like I just walked in the door, And with my head on fire I wrote this song - I don't know who it's for. Hands held fast in camera, I'll swear I heard the Stammerer exclaim: 'I am a traveller, unraveller, I only live through pain, and shame, and change!'
In my room, the secret tomb, I can see Future forms, space/time storms: They're all me, And I've only got to choose!
In my head I am dead if I fall In the trap, The subtle lap, Safety's pall... But I'm living while I choose...
