I swallow the silence coming out of a nightmare rising from the depths reaching your fingers from the darkwater pulled to safety introduction to air. I am a dark crystal in sunlight i don't shine when i should only for the grotesque figures on their gentle moonlit float. No beauty no solace leaving only space to gasp in the badness bleed it out new crisp, farm fresh, warm daisies, jello from the mold, dresses that twirl in the wind - goodness without the victims knowing passing all from grip to grin I eat the darkness i drink the cold i birth the light and let it wander into the mason jars of small smilers giant eyes on little faces pinkies up to the sky teacups full of imagination leave you sitting on the porch years later trying to relive it all- And then for you I swallow the silence.

When I am Strong
I swallow the silence coming out of a nightmare rising from the depths reaching your fingers from the darkwater pulled to safety introduction to air. I am a dark crystal in sunlight i don't shine when i should only for the grotesque figures on their gentle moonlit float. No beauty no solace leaving only space to gasp in the badness bleed it out new crisp, farm fresh, warm daisies, jello from the mold, dresses that twirl in the wind - goodness without the victims knowing passing all from grip to grin I eat the darkness i drink the cold i birth the light and let it wander into the mason jars of small smilers giant eyes on little faces pinkies up to the sky teacups full of imagination leave you sitting on the porch years later trying to relive it all- And then for you I swallow the silence.
