lyrics

Narrator:
The sweet inner sanctum that waits right here for you
The soft secret place where the world cannot harm you
The womb where the sadness can no longer find you
The hole where you bury your mind
As all falls around you outside

The haven you hide in from winds always raging
While outside the monsters grow bigger, rampaging
Your absence, they flourish the hunt for you raising
But here you can close all your eyes
Pretend they won’t find you in time

The still silent running of blissful libation
Retreat by inertia, synthetic stagnation
Your time in the world outside this elation is done
Run fool go run

The haven where memories blur far behind you
The guilt which will stalk you can never here find you
The things you have done you can breathe and be blind to
Here in the cradle you crave
Drifting at last far away

A long time ago, may be ill-advised choices
Or dark violent figures with loud, brutal voices
And round in your brain may be echoes and noises
But here you can close all your eyes
Pretend they won’t find you in time

The still silent running of blissful libation
Retreat by inertia, synthetic stagnation
Your time in the world outside this elation is done
Run fool go run

.

In here the bad things can touch you no longer
The tears you keep buried, the sharp, bitter trauma
Your pain and your failures are real and they haunt you
Perhaps there were once better roads
But this is the one you now know

The sweet inner sanctum that waits right here for you
The soft secret place where the world cannot harm you
The womb where the sadness can no longer find you
The hole where you bury your mind
As all falls around you outside

The still silent running of blissful libation
Retreat by inertia, synthetic stagnation
Your time in the world outside this elation is done
Run fool go run

Paul Shapera Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Cama’s attempt to commune with higher beings failed; she only found Decadent Dottie. Together they roamed, indulging in dangerous forms of psycho-neural self-exploration which Cama hoped would present the key to her people’s further evolution. It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera. ... more
