The gradual dissection of sanity.
Darlings, darlings,
Darlings of the deepest dusk
Lovelies, lovelies
Children of the blackest swamp
Dance the dance of sweet demise
Drive a nail into my mind
Be cruel, be nimble
Be swift, be gentle
Liquefy the sun
And lay me to rest on
Opium clouds and ashes, ashes
Churning in the mud.
