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. |
