				was it a dream
			          you come to me
			          big snake head
			          it was not so sublime
			          blood in your mouth
			          dripping like mom's spilt red wine
			          dope like lead
			          baby I was lost in time
			          now you shower me in smiles
			          there 
			          so heavy on velocity 
			          yeah your flesh in my hands
			          drinking from the cup so deceitfully
			          devoted exiles
			          castrated by fear
			          walking in the valley of skin
			          but the voice cuts clear
			          yeah her voice is so dead
			          I will forfeit all I asked for
			          everything that I grasp for
			          lusts wallowing voices
			          reproached by lies
			          and her hosts of saints are
			          rallying around our love's death bed
			          I will sit there and stare
			          knowing there is nothing more for us to hold onto
			          yeah there is nothing more for us to hold onto
			          it's the devil's charity that'll get you in trouble every time
			          I can't control where my hear goes
			          where my lean heart unfolds
			          explodes wants to roam
			          so take down your pony dress
			          place me in the womb
			          why are you telling the truth
			          that is so unlike you
filtered through the gauze of desire
			          we will not be sanctified
			          as we climb the tree of thorns
			          and drown in the sea of fire
I struck a chord
I struck a chord with you
