Paralysis, Take 3


Paralysis


In this dream, the Earth's a billowing rose;
You pluck its fat continents like petals
Tumbled in the solar breeze and you blow
Until the planet is a lifeless ball.
Somehow we live below the mantle bloom
Crushed together, in love and alone,
In the fiery spinning of our world's loom
And all creation is our rocky dome.
But when I wake I'm in paralysis
And hallucinate that black smoke and death
With the sincerity of the abyss
Can form a figure and speak without breath
"I am your creation; I cannot die,
I am a phantom and I am a lie."
