Flesh Leaf dances on the wind
with the motion of a crying child.
Hear it. See it. Praise it. Let it call out to you.
Let it tell you of the ways you will
fall into the ocean.
Let it tell you how it can tear you apart.
How it can love you.

I can hear it whispering in the winds.
The electrical feel of a thousand touches.
In the dead of night, it shimmers a deep blue.
A descending madness that comes only from the
pain of betrayal.
It knows how to kill you with a sound.

The faces of our multitudes.
The screaming and the light.
I have heard you in my deepest frailties.

The flesh leaf dances in the mainframe.
And the single tear you shed
will guide me to the end.
I can feel the passion reaching out from the bay.
Our new celestial body guides us to the end.

I have heard you.
I have felt.
I have taken your words into my veins.

I have heard you, sire.
I have knelt.
I have taken your words into my prayers.

The false gods are mocked.
The Flesh Leaf leads the way.
The torment is a reminder
of better days ahead.
And in this peace of mind,
we find our innocence.
We calm our nerves and set our angles
To do it all again.

I will never be alone again.
My desert island is populated.
The soul is taking me to places no one’s seen.
