Defense Mechanism - Gazpacho

The holy waters of the blackened seas

A gulf that separated you and me

The shadows as they weep

A dog will chase its tail

The beauty of creation is alien

The solitude is your relief

Sunlight through the wall

Slamming of the door

The snake curled up in sleep

The rustle of the trees

You swore you would return

The hell is the others

And the heaven is a hell

It’s my own

It’s my story

All alone

It’s a defense mechanism

Fight or flight

Doesn’t matter

At least you’re not asleep

Your debts are paid in silver

And your last coin’s in the deep

You think you want a taste of madness?

I think you know the taste of that wine…

A tower shining white

The stone within the plum

Don’t you know what they know?

The devil hates the sun

The brewer of the liars

Won’t need me for a while

The killer wears a blue suit

But I’m not wearing mine

Fight or flight

It’s my own

It’s my story

All alone

It’s a defense mechanism

Watch them go by tired

All these beggars

Stage is soaked with sweat

And waltzing dead men

Whistling in alleys

Carpool tomorrows

Sealed and stamped with sorrow

Wasted, wounded

Now that I kissed her

Canned chatter

Burnout gold dust

Bury the dagger

Cain and Abel

Thoreau

Now that I kissed her

It’s a defense mechanism
