I see you in my sleep Entwined in blackened rhythms, I see you standing right in front of me Then darkness grabs you quick And I am drowning in a black sea, I see you in my dreams Left thoughtless to images of stranger things Is this what my mind imagines it to be like when you leave? I see you when I sleep When closed eyes leave no witness, But always keep you right in front of me And watch your life and body dissipate Soon you are invisible And I am drowning in a black sea, I see you in my dreams Listening to seraphine and metallic malaise Whistles blowing sound like wind dancing through rain This is where dark figures live I dine with them as beasts We dance at dusk together And move on to grab each other I let their hands move on my hips And love the ways they grab my waist Then darkness grabs us quick And we are dancing in the black sea, Swimming with our demons And all of the men of my dreams This is where dark figures eat And quench the hungry beasts I notice that they’re starving And invite them to feed on me Then darkness grabs me quick And I am drowning in a black sea, I look and he does not look at me And I know, now, that I’m not sleeping

Where Dark Figures Eat
I see you in my sleep Entwined in blackened rhythms, I see you standing right in front of me Then darkness grabs you quick And I am drowning in a black sea, I see you in my dreams Left thoughtless to images of stranger things Is this what my mind imagines it to be like when you leave? I see you when I sleep When closed eyes leave no witness, But always keep you right in front of me And watch your life and body dissipate Soon you are invisible And I am drowning in a black sea, I see you in my dreams Listening to seraphine and metallic malaise Whistles blowing sound like wind dancing through rain This is where dark figures live I dine with them as beasts We dance at dusk together And move on to grab each other I let their hands move on my hips And love the ways they grab my waist Then darkness grabs us quick And we are dancing in the black sea, Swimming with our demons And all of the men of my dreams This is where dark figures eat And quench the hungry beasts I notice that they’re starving And invite them to feed on me Then darkness grabs me quick And I am drowning in a black sea, I look and he does not look at me And I know, now, that I’m not sleeping
