Cathedra Lyrics


Deepest night again?

Glued in recline

I know that now the narcotic recedes

Now I have to think.

I have to know the genesis

And why I am so bloodied

Movement is useless, and so is the squalling

I must free me from confinement

Wrench out these benumbed ducts

I have to depart from

This hiemal alcove

Before my mind self-destructs

Deepest night again?

Fastened to this chair

I reason that the chance to leave stalls

Quick! Before it abates.

Will there be an exit?

Where should or could I go?

Find what freedom costs me

Buried in the dirt

Else the tubes will swallow me

Smother me in hurt.

Find what freedom costs me

Escape is the goal now

Buried in the dirt

I’ll crawl if I have to

Else tubes will swallow me

Now I have to live!

Smother me in hurt.



But then the seat betrays me

Rocking to and fro

It squeals out in protest

The earth looks inviting

Yes I know I must go.

Yet I know I must go.

Find what freedom costs me

Buried in the dirt

Else the tubes will swallow me

Smother me in hurt.
