South by Southeast

Scraping this rhyme from pages of blood pages of sweat Wild demon With a violent voice echoed by saturated bleeding sunlight Hijacked innocence Winter's pariah falls into the fervent shade My Old town picks up the pieces of a broken heart My Old town would takes me dancing and gets us some drink The patina of youth brushed with Fripp and mixed by Eno Those who stand out Make it a point to go their own direction The way of the Gypsies and Witches those that hear that last shout The people who see a foretelling dream I can't believe we don't know our power They say if we all wished together It would come true Shadows of darkness towers over a warm soft night Contempt paints Portraits of serenity's preserved heart Yo peace please come to me Think it through and get it right Take me home tonight
