Ultraviolet - A Pregnant Light

Ultraviolet

Burn in silence

Feeling timeless

Stretch my eyelids wider still

I need to find this violence

I must end this mindless trial

So I kiss hearts like wings on angels

Righteous

Vengeance

Red dress

Red lips

Red skin

Red blood

Dripping against this white line in time

So scared

So dry

Strike like matches on this mattress

No more resentment for memories relating to the right and wrong

Of what I do

Inside of me is the light of you

The witness of truth

There was a young boy once, whose smile was wide

And his face was bright

I was a young boy once

That was miles ago in another life

If I could go back to then

I surely would, just to see me then

When time was like an orchid

Heat helps these flowers grow

Praise the name

Praise the holy name

Though I burn in life

In eternity safe

As I drift from life to death

From love to faith

To pain to break the mirrors again

Just to see where the pieces go

I know they’re always far from here

They carry the image, both distant and clear

Made to look like the things they see

Parts of heaven pulled from parts of me
