Curtains

Hide behind a curtain that’s in flames
Cannot burn the house lights out
Bleed through your subtle dance
Worn feet face infection
Vermin wait downstage
Blind death waits in the crowd
Plastic body falling from a noose
Roll it over, it’s wet and warm
Ignore the audience
They pay for perversion
Expose the panel, flip the switch
Send us to hell
So slick for a ghost
Something has found us
It might be the night terror
Unnatural, shining in secret
The strange way the shadows growac
Ignore the audience
Blind death waits in the crowd
