Sheep's Clothing

The ground beneath me simply floating away
As I fall into your inky embrace...

Like a wolf in sheep's clothing
No-one knows where this is going
The pogrom comes and the conformists
Line up to eat the nonconforming
In ghettoes full of swine with billy clubs
I'll tell you one thing
You can be the judge
Over my dead body
Skin bag of chalky bones
Over vapor and water
Skipping every other sucking stone
Sinks to the bottom
Dreaming of a horrible death
Blinded by stars
When clouds blacken the moon

I am falling weightless to the embers of Earth
Holding the tether unwinding from my guts
The carabiner flapping unattached

I'm like a wolf in sheep's clothing
Shed this conventional skin
Let my teeth show my eyes glowing
i was born in this spacesuit
Slowly floating away
Follow quarry from a distance
Patiently wait...

(The ground beneath me simply floating away
As I fall into your inky embrace)

...to splash in the blood
To swim and to suck
To crawl inside another creature
and come out the other side
Once again
On the sand
Outer space
The wolf in the suit and tie
Under the black umbrella
My shoulders long to expose the night
I'm exploding
Outside myself
I'm a nova
A Giant Pink Moth
Translating signal code
I am data raw electrical
Electrochemical
I am a perfume cloud
A naked emperor
I AM WOLF
Crying for my mother the moon
Sister I'm so sorry i abandoned you
7 suns for 7 universes
I see diamonds in that dream I worship
Of the worst death
I can and do imagine
When you close your eyes
What floats before your vision?

The ground beneath me simply floating away
As I fall into your inky embrace
The ground beneath me simply floating away
As I fall
