Daturic

[TheTwighlight]

Daturic

This cell surrounds me
A cerebral prism, bending
Just like a shield that's sending
the wheel of my envy spinning
Feel this frustration rending
I bury a creeping frenzy
My audience only seeing
the criminal deep within me

Now I'm dead to everyone who has said:
"If you walk on that path you'll be led
through a limitless spiral of dread"

Is it too much to want, or to ask
you to carry a curse, or to cast
an eclipse or a spell on the vast
vacant blacklight before me, at last?
So all of the pills I'm downing
in such quantities so astounding
cannot ever leave me here bowing out
in a battle with life so bounding

Now I'm dead to all of my loved ones who said:
"If you walk down that path you will shed
any shred of redemption you've bred
every light from the darkness you fled
any trust from the loyal you've led"

At the brink of eternity lost, for myself will I fend?
(it's a testament to all of the ills that surround you)
I'll be saved if above they can find my salvation to send
(if commitment is proof, it's the crystalline truth)

Now I'm left to the words of the wise who have said:
"Thorns and needles and spines turn you red
from the daggers of lies you have bled
matrimony of evil you wed
on the gravel of lepers you tread
from the seeds of conceit you have fed
May you flee from your dead end, instead"

Very good, dark and grandiose What des the title mean?

 

[TheTwighlight]

The title is a reference to how purty the flowers of Datura are (oh, the angel's trumpets), but how that doesn't mean that it's good for you, and it's not very fun. Kinda like getting heavy into drugs, which is what the song is about at heart.
