Moonflower
It's cold down here
Where I hold myself
Caressing hopes
That cannot be broken
You don't want me
Oh, I cannot
Come out and play
I can hide from you
Among the shadows
Cast by an artificial sun
Here in the stillness
Your jubilant voices
Echo coldly
Hungry eyes devouring
Your luminosity
I cannot come out
For I will wither
Under your gaze
Stage illuminated by night's embers
This life our ornament, duly polished
Divine audience hail to our members
The realm held rapt, the spirit abolished:
Hiding behind our masks a faceless form
We glimmer, painted in our jubilance
our countenance gives way to shapes forlorn
Marionettes dancing for lack of sense:
Enveloped in an endless shining whorl
Fragile beauty like a porcelain doll
Filled with theived intensity our eyes swirl
Facades adorning our decadent ball:
Our hollow lives are like an endless waltz
Which only for the final curtain halts
