Panoptikon |
I have become a stranger to my own needs |
amd desires |
I look and see things that are not there |
And 1 ask myself |
And I ask And I ask And I ask And I ask |
I say: What is my name? |
What is my name? |
What is my name? |
What is my name? |
What is my… |
W hat is your name, darling |
«W hat is your name, angel |
What is your name, honey |
What is your name, baby |
What is your name, baby |
What is your name, baby |
Your name is that of a condemned man |
Your name is that of a condemned man |
You have no name |
We both had knives high school education |
I WILL NOT BE SEDATED |
I WILL NOT BE SEDATED |
I WILL NOT BE SEDATED |
I WILL NOT BE SEDATED |
I stuck a knife into his heart and he pleaded |
with me, and it felt like making love to him. |
A prisoner cannot be subdued even with a knife at throat. |
That is why at this time he is a |
prisoner. |
It is the essence of being a prisoner |
today he cannot be subdued, only |
murdered. |
I WILL NOT BE SEDATED |
I WILL NOT BE SEDATED |
I WILL NOT BE SEDATED |
I WILL NOT BE SEDATED |
He cannot be subdued, only murdered |
He cannot be subdued, only murdered |
He cannot be subdued, only murdered |
He cannot be subdued, only murdered |
You know, murderers got to pay I say, |
KILL EM in vein |
KILL EM in vein. |
Kill him in vein. |
I CALL YOU, |
Can we know the truth at last? |
I CALL YOU, |
Do you send me dead flowers? |
I call you, |
Do you know me now at last? |
I call you, |
Do you know my father’s name? |
I CALL YOU, |
Before the first breath of angels? |
I call you, |
Can’t I make my peace at last? |
Coddesses before mercy and old age. |
Take this child up the ladders to the storm. |
Shave from her soul his reptilian grace |
And send her to a death beyond temptation |
How I wish this would all end. |
How I wish I could walk free in this world |
And could find my life again, |
And see and do things that other people do. |
I don’t see how that would be possible right now, though |
Too much has happened |
For too long |
To me. |
But you know |
YOU KNOW: |
We insects, have learned how to see in the dark. |
We have committed to memory the palace of despair, |
And what we see now are |
Angels! |
Angels! |
Angels! |
Angels! |
Angels! |
Dark night, make my bed. |
