Articulated in Bloom

from This Soft Red Oblivion by Tomorrow's Man

lyrics

I dreamt I brought you a spine of roses articulated in bloom
Handed the bouquet to you, and felt the elements fill the room
Coursing through our veins of ice, now rich with fire and flame
In my dream I brought you a spine of roses articulated in bloom

A petal fell with a clatter to your lap, and just like that, we were changed
Where forms had cast mad shadows in the light; now only spectres remain
A transformation brought us back to life, not that we’d ever left
When the petal fell with a metal clatter to your lap, everything changed.

I grip at the brittle earth beneath our feet, while you carry the cold of space
Flames feed veins and roots carry shoots through the vast black in our brains
You pierce the skin of the sun for me to feel that we are free to feed
While you carry the cold of space to heat where I kneel in elemental need.

The thickness of the grief we secrete devours the sea;
The thickness of the thieves we forgive consumes me.

I’m quick as a shot with a smile, but it’s not what’s on the inside
Pull the flesh from my head, and see the secret I hide
Ticking away like a bomb, with the patience of a tomb
I’m quick as a shot with a smile, but it’s not what’s on the inside.
