The Willow
[Verse: Simon Jackson VO]
As I hear the voices speak to me, I speak back
I say thou have no right to vocalize
I say thou have no right to decide
As i walk hand in hand with Cain, I let go
Memories of the past flood the spaces between neurons
Memories of bitterness, of sweetness
Of pain and troublesome thoughts
They all vanish like tears in the rain
As i hear the voices speak to me, i speak back
I say thou have no right to forget
I say thou have no right to erase
As i lock the lеft-hand in man, i now know
Try not to let thyself get lost
Try not to lеt thyself pour thy entrails for the world to gaze upon
For those entrails are food for Cain
The detriment of a mind is the mind itself
It speaks to keep the silence
It feeds to stay hungry
As the acid begins to pile, i refuse to vomit
I shut my throat and sing
I walk the earth with wings
As i talk the fantasies into existence, i do grow
I grow as the willow does, with weeping branches hanging low
But even so, i do grow
