lyrics

A glowing green stream in the mud
acidic to the touch
hypnotic nonetheless
I have melted and rebuilt my skin so many times

Knelt down at the stream again
Inhaling the fumes and smiling
Smiling at the sting
I lay down and swim in a sea of memories
Of entrancement and agony
Of losing Consciousness from the pain
And falling into a gorgeous poison green dream

Bathed in the spring of thoughts exiled
Bathed by Giants who stared silent until I was changed
They sang a song of alchemy
Taught me the melody carefully
Then they encircled and drowned me with spit

Endless green streams
Loveless cease of Dreams
Endless green streams
Ceaseless love of Dreams

Nothing's been the same since I awoke and watched my body rebuild itself
Again and again I wonder the purpose of my torment

When I wonder sometimes I recall
Lyrics from their strange song
The purpose was written in a verse whose word surface
And never clarify
The pathetic peak of my waking visions
The dust from dead tongue mantras
From a wisdom I don't deserve
From an escape I haven't earned

Endless green streams
Loveless cease of dreams
Endless green streams
Ceaseless love of glorious dreams

When I try to jar the substance
it melts the glass and slithers away
When I try to escape
The forest trail rings me back
So I'll continue to believe that this is my destiny
So that I may teach the next to fall into the poison green
