The Drunken Diamond - Compos Mentis

Away upon waves of red

I depart from your gentle rivers of words

Now sail me off to strange worlds of plenty, tonight

Take me dancing on oceans of death

Sacrifice my soul to the blue fields of freedom

Let me sail away on uncertain streams of ecstasy and fizz

Shatter my body into tiny pieces

See how mountains of foam lift me up and the poles unite

Hear me now unfold like a suffering, but golden butterfly

The wind breathes new life into the never stagnant surface

Building massive towers at my sides

Opaque liquids cause bubbling naivety of the unseen, a heady voyage

Penetrating my mind with a watery rush and swallowing me

Let me sail away on uncertain streams of ecstasy and fizz

Crystals taking shape to puncture tired dreams

And old nightmares that’ll reform anew

Hard and beautiful as a diamond’s secrets

Illuminating the twilight like clouds

Floating in dissolved gravity beyond the ticking of time

Tickling, stirring and tasted by all possible senses

Thunder rumbles beyond the vault

A crack splits the sky into fluttering clouds

Now the eyes are lured closer to the spiral hole

Where the smashing waves kiss my wooden hull

Let me sail away on uncertain streams of ecstasy and fizz

Awake me when it’s time
