Maestro! I lost all the keys, all the lost keys
but I'm just a smudgy decoy, right?
awoken after the rising superstition
awoken after the old wheelchair genocide
I was bored in this theater marionette
as a hopeful jackdaw, as monstrous cyanide
disembodied voices took my luminous ladders
to the nocturnal visitor, his oncoming oversight
strange Faun's path brought me to the ravenous pit
but I am unafraid, back seat dead passenger
with translucent crowd and lavender sheep
my fragile sanity is the last one to inherit
monument made of dust and black bones
crestfallen crescendo of weird silent matinée
lunar throne made of my shallow backbone
bittersweet games for days and bloody soirée
I'm just a captive child of nonsense murmurs
domed house of moan in a ramshackle park
the infamous orchard of final requests
prince of wild northern winds incoming from afar
but you're oblivious like wartime waltz
like a mahogany gorge within medical prophecy
devastating reconstruction of forty fractures
fatally bizarre like Machine, the almighty
do you see? the ludicrous stallions on the storm
nuclear wreckage of bullet brainwashing
shiny leather coat at the weird urn exhibition
we're the ivory chessmen in a paranoid town
and I'm your grotesque piper
with well-known manic grin
