The animal runs slow across me

I'm so tired

I can only fall

The black is dripping

In the hanging garden

Please don't speak

Blood in my ears and eyes like ice

Don't move

Why won't I move

Why do I pretend

We're made of everyone else

I see you in my room

I think of your friend
The ordinary chokes me

When no one cares

Empty men

You're so useless

Choking under covers

Stifled like a dead man

Happy with the empty men

In a small room

Lash my face with glass

Era away from the animals

Still no closer

Cursing my fingers like ribbon

Like an animal swelling in sickness
Sallow child, frustration and hatred

Cutting my hair

Like cutting life with clean hands

Touching me

A brother lies in shapes of angels

Keep her away from my face

Series

Pictures of madmen color the walls

It's all a waste of time

Everything jumps once

And I fall into the walls

Covered like a madman choking

Choking like an empty man
Swaying out of time to be real again

I think I should finish soon

I think I should end

Magic and dreams and the end of the world

Choking on the covers

That stifle a dead man

Happy empty man

Sit in a small room

Lash my face and the animals sing

Please don't speak in the hanging garden

Every night in the hanging garden

The animals drip in the hanging garden

The animals drip at the side of the road

The animals drip at the side of the road

In the hanging garden

In the hanging garden
