Severed Lyrics

She's screaming
in the alley
"Get out of my body"
Pushing carts for cans
Fire on hand
burnt spoon,
Galley on the ship of gloom,
Spinning nights, like
threads, on the devils loom
Solemn witches ritual -
No one can hear you
scream in hell

Blown glass
gargoyles crawl down
Spray painted gauntlets
In a real bitches brew
I can hear everything
But I can't hear you
Staring at the rafters
counting lights
I don't want to die
Sweet mother
the wrong I've done you -
Her little boy
In a Tinfoil reverie
You gave me everything

I wanted to go somewhere in the world
To stake my own claim
But the further I go, the less I become

*********

Whisper to me softly
Like snow on frozen bones
Like wind over the white sheets
That cover springs best intentions

He hung himself from the rafters
So that galleries became gallows
In this ghosttown

Hanging down below

He's hanging from the rafters
Like I'm hanging on to you
