Remember to Forget

Hush now, close your eyes
Open your mouth, swallow lies
Hush now, close your eyes
Open your mouth, swallow, swallow lies
Moth breath fluttering
He whispered to me The violence of silence
We have a terrible secret that we must never repeat
And if I do, he’ll dedicate his life to ripping me to shreds
Remember to forget
Poison crown of regret
Sucking life like funeral flies
Shadow of Oedipus
Eat the fever; knife the eyes
Remember
To forget
To relent
To surrender
Remember
To forget
To relent
To surrender
I hope you die like swine surrounded by starving dogs
I’m stained by your sin like the blood-soaked boards of the cross
Between the Devil and the deep sea, you’ll find me Dreaming evil endlessly, aroused by life’s fantasies
What do you do when dreams come true and it’s all so ordinary?
Stitch the wounds of complacency and hide your eyes from reality?
I am the shape of a God lifting up the sky
Remember
To forget
To relent
To surrender
Remember
To forget
To relent
To surrender
Insurrection
INSURRECTION
I kicked you out of bed
Stabbed knives into the walls
Poured gas over your head
Struck a match in the hall
This will remind you
This will remind you
This will remind you the burden we carry
This will remind you
This will remind you
This will remind you the razors are ready
Room after room I hunt the darkened world for you
Casket black, dried and cracked, ashes among the dunes
But I’ve gone blind in time to lose you to the dark
Now I’m immune to you and your whorish heart
Hush now close your eyes
Open your mouth, swallow lies
Hush now you’re all mine
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Remember
To forget
To relent
To surrender
Remember
To forget
To relent
To surrender
