Chasing Shadows

There is a vile brutality to love A beauty in sufferin & disease There is a tinkerin madness An eternity to fleetin seasons We find a wholeness in lack A lack in imagined perfection There is hymnal in the hades And a vex in the paradise We feel the burden of love The crassness of affections We endure the laughters, yet Enjoy the vagaries of pain We find sweetness in battle n war We realise life in murder n guile I see only madness in everything The pursuit of hope n shadows The peace n life in the cemetery The valliance in death & decay The frailness of the human heart Diseased and maligned wth joy The freckled ugly face of faith The anality of logic &reason Her beautiful deamonic eyes We have found angels & beasts Heavenly rainbows & ragin storms I find myself in a glass of whisky In her eyes the universe resides I taste her violent lips in my dreams
