[THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]

Lyrics

When I sleep me
body dissolves.
The bed looks empty.
But the steel frame
is an accumulator.
My soul-currents
coil in the springs.
Whoosh -

Through the floor
veins of ore
conduct me down
through chthonic strata,
to Hell.

Stumbling all night
over bones of the dead.

I'm a fume
without a mouth
to call her name.
