Warm water washes over my naked body
Like diamonds, like sunshine
The droplets hit the ground and bounce
Went down the drain
I absorb it, don\'t feel as disfigured
Afterwards I forgot about my sins
Hailed Satan in the sapling\'s bole
Looked in the mirror
My eyes were like opal, like an ocean
I had woken in a Marianas Trench
I thought I was dreaming
For a second
Applied logic to the night
I done the crime, I done the time
Just a week ago I was juggling a million things
In extremis I pray to the Heavens
Like saprophyte
In extremis, can\'t help but be contrite
The oracle is always right
The oracle is always right
When I had the chance I should\'ve ran
Ran and never looked back
Now I feel like a dud
A wise thought has nudged in like a fly
A train on the track
Crashing through your lies
With a polemic
Tide against the brevity
I believe in the bedrock
The moon is my pedagogue.
