Reverie & Harlequin Forest

Into the treesPast meadow groundsAnd further away from my homeBaying behind meI hear the houndsFlock's chasing to find me aloneA trail of sicknessLeading to meIf I am hauntedThen you will seeSearching the darknessAnd emptinessI'm hiding away from the sunWill never restWill never be at easeAll my matter's expired so I runThere falls anotherVapor hands released the bladeInsane regrets at the dropInstruments of death before meLose all to save a littleAt your peril it's justifiedAnd dismiss your demonsAs death becomes a jestYou are the laughing stockOf the absinthe mindedConfessions stuck in your mouthAnd long gone fevers reappearNocturnally helplessAnd weak in the lightDepending on a prayerPacing deserted roads to findA seed of hopeThey are the treesRotten pulp inside and never wellRoots are sucking, thieving from my sourceTired boughs reaching for the lightIt is all false pretensionHarlequin forestAwaiting redemption for a lifetimeAs they die aloneWith no one by their sideAre they forgiven?Stark determinationPoisoning the soulUnfettered beast insideClaiming sovereign controlAnd now the woods are burningTearing life crops asunderUseless blackened remainsStill pyre smoldering
