Burning thru another shattered focus . . .

dreams splinter
some crack
refreeze in winter
then come right back

Year's end
glorified sinner
punk loser
reluctant beginner

In a blue-blown glass heart . . .

diamond showdown
crystal conspiracy
mirror image
everything dear to me

polished to shine
to an unnatural sheen
too hard to find
and so obscene

I know what lies beyond
as well as behind
the black water pond
that is my mind

Celestial sideshow  with a moonglow guide . . .

soaring thru northern lights
chanting ancient rites
on these endless flights
into the lost Celtic nights

Beware of the white horse
the devil will deceive
taking it all by force
leaving no time to grieve

So hide your soul up your tattered sleeve . . .

the Queen card death trick
last time it broke her
hands of fate
always out to choke her

this deck is stacked
            and
I'm the King Joker
