The Masquerade Overture

back to the masquerade
but you didn't have a mask on
what were you to do?
you searched around the room
frantically searching
searching and longing
longing and losing along the way
there was a girl
in a spider mask
EIGHT EYES
and you danced from across the room
weaving in and out of the faceless crowd
til she runs out
wearing your crown
and there was a boy who appeared
in the rusty dusty mirror
back and forth through the dance
(of the maddening shroud)
you peered in to the eye of the dream
(ahead of ourselves)
you were spun by your fear
(we've come too far too fast)
now you're following the silk threads
to your hiding place
so you go to the mantle
grab a candle to light the way
but distracted by the dream
there seems to be voices
across the water
voices singing softer than the stars
so shine on, oh moon of summer
shine on, shine on, shine on
oh moon of summer
shining off of the crown
at rest at the edge of the forest
left by the spider queene
so the game can begin
jeng jengy jengy jeng
now enchanted
now invited in
to play hide and seek
in the Forest of Acedia
where no one else can see
you've left the masquerade
you've left the masquerade
you're headed for the freaks
you're family of freaks
freaks are anyone who let themselves be seen
at the masquerade
pt. 2
joining the last full moon night of summer
the refugee hears voices from across the water
past the forest a fire is burning and people are singing
softer than the stars
he spots the crown
in the moon's damp glow
resting at the edge of the forest of Acedia
and from inside comes an enchanting tune
jeng jengy jeng jengy jeng jengy jeng
sounds the spider's sickly selfish song
so the game can begin
again in the dark of the forest
lit only by a candle and the glow from the fireflies
blinking and revealing the silk threads
leading to the place where the spider queene hides
where she weaves alone

Into the Forest of Acedia
where the artist dreams alone
where the killers and the anchors
and the gods are born
you're getting lost in the perfect void
you're following the silk threads
shining off the candlelight
guided by the glow from the fireflies
the further you seek
the further you hide
to the canopy of grafted trees
you can weave, you can weave alone
you've found nowhere
no need to share
just paint
your perfect nowhere
now you have created the web
you have caught yourself in
this perfect nowhere
so go to sleep
go to sleep
disappear
now the boy is ink
disappearing blind and senseless
he crawls into the arms of a birch tree to sleep
and as the outside world starts to move faster
he is held in the slow, slow hours
of this hibernation place
the forest whispers a lullaby hush
jeng jengy jeng
a deep spell of lethargy
spinning him slowly into slumber
ready or not, here she comes

Forest Lullaby

so go to sleep...
a soul split in two
playing hide and seek in limbo
fighting over a bunker in the perfect hell
over refuge
the crown passes back and forth between creations
so go to sleep
spider queene
you and me
we can be free together
together
together
together
together
together
so go to sleep
refugees
but don't forget
no don't forget
to color in your dreams

Child of Arachne
you have stolen me
away from my dream
i'm in a deeper sleep
and nothing can disturb this slumber
so stay with me Duessa
it's not you, it's me
who wanted us lost
and now that we're lost
we will have a way
of keeping the truth
from finding out
our whereabouts
our hiding places look the same
our hiding places look the same
our hiding places look the same
our hiding places look the same

Leaving
02:57
|
|||
the train out of acedia is leaving
temporarily at least
you'll be back, but for now
you're sharing the paint from your dreams
with your family of freaks
ha ha, ho ho
you're gonna need an exceptional gatekeeper
cause once the gates open
anything can crawl in
here comes the spider now
i think we're ahead of ourselves
we've come too far too fast
we don't have our own gravity
i'm getting pretty dizzy
i'll stop
stick my thumb in the earth
to slow down the spinning
the threads snap
my eyes open

Shame
05:03
|

Shame is the crown that I left in the place
where I thought that my dreaming had died
now i'm slipping away, taking refuge on the train
i met a new friend at the smoker's lounge
as the train is leaving
full lady moon sings
faraway songs from a faraway place
i hear music for moonlight madness
faraway songs from faraway friends
playing music for moonlight madness
dream navigator, could you take me to a place
where i can rest my weary head
and the souls of my feet
cause for the last seven miles
the spider has tried to keep pace
with my rubber band cage
and my night life exchange
it's the thrill of the chase
and as the train's approaching
full lady moon sings
faraway songs from a faraway place
i hear music for moonlight madness
the next stop is hotel broslin
