repetition in order to sleep / i learn concealment / he exchanges the illusion / it cuts off the hands / the altar is taken apart / blood rushes to your head, invents your head / the blood returns to your cheek / the fire did not burn me / it's cold and my skin is crawling / going nowhere fast / mother finds glowing baby in crib / tires screech, horns beep / give me a wall, i'll stare at it forever/

imagine my surprise / switch on the power / my face is rearranged / spotlights pierce the night sky / you're there and i'm here / when i collapse in contemplation of your surface / my greed for death is replaced with the satisfaction of giving up / walking without thinking into the arms of an ideal / sleeping without waking into the world of dreams /

when i find my point in seek of your surface / it wanders only into an image of itself / let me go. / have i said what you've always thought? / i sift through the aftermath / i bring a torn heart / replace her cells at the rings / i am crawling sleeping crawling (laughter)
