the tear in the crack   the ?   the stairs look back   the moon is cruel   i could not sleep with the parasite free   to show its face in the mirror i keep      all i ever wanted was to be held   over the fires on the sea   all i ever wanted was to be helped   inside the nightmare of my dreams      the air is bent through ovarian shells   the coral hands, they chime like bells   i breathe in time to a withering mind   who stands in place on the bed where i lie      all i ever wanted was to be held   over the fires on the sea   all i ever wanted was to be helped/held?   inside the nightmare of my dreams   inside the nightmare of my dreams      how much do i loathe   how much do i owe to this while sleeping   is it not the reason that i am slowly   losing touch with what is holy   in this unforgiving night   will i ever sleep      i only wanted to be held   over the fires on the sea   only wanted to be held   inside the nightmare of my dreams   the nightmare of my dreams
