when you can feel a crescendo rising in you
I can see the burning in your soul,
(oh look how the embers glow)
The flames are dancing, high and low,
(oh look how the fire grows)
Cascading ice, a willing partner,
Bleak, its burnt sienna aura,
(a calming susurrus, hush! hush!)
Chanting, chanting, chanting:
When it speaks,
I’ll not listen,
When it screams,
I am deaf,
Though it sees,
I’m invisible,
It can choke itself to death.
(hush! hush! SCREAM-)
