“quiet murmurings in the new york heat”

3.56pm

.

All I wanted, fades away-

Swing on branches, fall of Grace,

All behold the light of day,

.

Darkening storms let children play,

Fancy dresses made of maids,

Tell me, lover, do you play?

.

Mumble chants that fade to gray,

Tell me no- don’t turn the page,

Chapter 1 is disengaged,

.

.

.

Your enchantments give no heart,

Dirty dancing in the dark,

I’m a witch, forgot to trial, wearing jewels that cause beguile,

.

I mutter spells that heal the world-,

I kill those guilty of the law-

Don’t come near me, lest you know,

I’ll cut your fingers and your toes-

Put them in a brewing pot,

You’d better hope your body clots,

.

This should’ve been the end,

But it won’t end my friend,

It’ll continue long after we’re dead, my friend,

You’re so kind, you know,

Talking to the other ghosts,

Showing them around,

You’re a pal, but you’ll never be found, for this is where your demons play,

We wont harm you as long as you stay,

.

.

.

Born of gold,

The sorcerer’s fable is yet to be told,

Harbor a grudge, smash it in two, feed that man- family of 22,

.

What good does it bring if you take me alive?

The executioner still has the order to kidnap your wife,

.

My soul is born of darkness,

Don’t expect the light to tame me,

Don’t expect that you can free me,

.

I should sew zippers on my lips, so that I may close it when I’m being irrelevant,

.

Don’t say my name, say it twice,

Don’t play the game, roll the dice,

Don’t read the book, repeat these lines.
