I came here to overhear melting secrets in the snow Blank and bare breathing murky air, smoking out a poem I slipped away without a care to where moonstruck madmen roam My soul took wing without fear, there was nowhere else to go
I laughed it off without a thought but I was truly unamused By the evil lots that wizards plot and deadly sinners choose The love I sought and the lie I bought were the two things I confused This dream I caught made me so distraught, it was sleep that I refused
When I cooked up this fertile mother and she overflowed the brim I realized that a demon lover had indulged my every whim Strange lights at the river's edge glimmered and dimmed And my appetite for sheer delight quickly turned grim
In oblivion where riddles fade I built myself a home Here the misbegotten rage and nightmares fume and foam I was at the kill, it was such a thrill to see these mocking specters fall But when their hollow shapes began to fill I knew that flesh was meant to crawl
