Raven Night

Sharp and open 
  Leave me alone 
  And sleeping less every night 
  As the days become heavier and weighted 
  Waiting 
  In the cold light 
  A noise 
  A scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten 
  With spiders inside them 
  And dust on the lips of a vision of hell 
  I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year 

  A hundred other words blind me with your purity 
  Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance 
  I think about tomorrow 
  Please let me sleep 
  As I slip down the window 
  Freshly squashed fly 
  You mean nothing 
  You mean nothing 

  I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls 
  All the time 
  Lose me in the dark 
  Please do it right 
  Run into the night 
  I will lose myself tomorrow 
  Crimson pain 
  My heart explodes 
  My memory in a fire 
  And someone will listen 
  At least for a short while 

  I can never say no to anyone but you 

  Too many secrets 
  Too many lies 
  Writhing with hatred 
  Too many secrets 
  Please make it good tonight 
  But the same image haunts me 
  In sequence 
  In despair of time 

  I will never be clean again 
  I touched her eyes 
  Pressed my stained face 
  I will never be clean again 

  Touch her eyes 
  Press my stained face 
  I will never be clean again 
  I will never be clean again 
  I will never be clean again 
  I will never be clean again
