lyrics

There is madness in the air
A sick mess of furious confusion
A yard I don’t recognize,
anger and flames and terror
a synchronized torrent of frustration and pain

I calmly traverse this nightmare’s landscape with a low center of gravity
Palms connecting at my chest, guided by a direct, slow intention
Patiently surveying the grounds and intuitively making my way to the heart of it all
I enter a door and it erupts

Mundane objects hurl themselves weapons in the quick, heavy air
I stay low and focused, under the radar of this malevolent, swirling chaos
Floor boards split, splinter by splinter
Spatters of sparks sputter and singe my flesh
There are screams and roars and anguish
As I bleed closer and closer to the heart of this tortured home
A thoughtful medicine searching for the cause of this illness

I make my way down the stairs uncertain as they are
Attempt as they may to keep me from this open nerve of a basement

There is a woman as terrible as the most wretched sea storm
A hurricane of discontent and aimless contempt
She is blind fury unleashed upon us

I breathe deep and slow as her empty gaze turns on me
I stand and offer an unseen gesture
The scene gives pause in its treachery
And in the fraction of an instant,
She glows a vivid orange that seeps into my eyes and mind and my heart
Her smile defies the blinding light
She is beautiful
And I awake
