In a pitch black stairway

You stumble and crack your head on the walls

And the silhouette up ahead

Gestures mockingly, watching you fall

And you think you hear a voice cry out

From your mouth, but you don't recognize

The words whispered in anguish

Turn off the lights again, open your eyes

And I was led into a burning white room at the end

The sunlight blinding me until my stumbling steps failed me again

I was led by hand to an ocean I couldn't comprehend

And everything I thought I saw would disappear into elegance

Talk to the magician I keep in my throat

They'll tell you how I really feel while I sink in my teeth

The past is a grotesque animal but the future's even worse
