Slow motion drips between folds   Driest tales of tears untold   Scrounge and panic empty hands   Empty heart pumps empty sand   Weighed down in a dormant feel   Pinch a nerve to know it's real   Pregnant with a star tonight   Melt my tongue in speech so slight      Eyes aglaze your satin chilled   Skin and face of that I killed   In your gown and wrists are crossed   Spasm shake for that I lost   There in plainest view I turn   Sudden scream as past I burn   I deny the whole of you   Nothing else for me to do      I deny your beauty   Blocked entirely   I deny that you existed   Disused piece of me      And now in this my darkest time   My memory's gone and with my mind   The rumble of this prayer to gain   All I need to start again   But words are weak as I am proof   That fools use words to speak the truth   In riddles, lies, all indirect   But when can I myself connect?      And I alone stand not so tall   I block out one, I block out all   Erase a notch, we're back another mile   Tonight we dream the beauty in denial
