lyrics

Datura, Datura
Datura daze.
The dreaming dissolving
Our lifelines in fate.

Datura, Datura
Datura daze.
Let your devils claw through
To scrape clean these veins.

Datura, Datura
I die not afraid
With no clue
Where we're going
But we all leave the same.

May the starlight pin bright spindles through
The open wound's softest parts.
Make words burn
Along the tongue.
Missed the turn,
Now it's wrong.

But the sound of time's passage still remains
Washed up in broken shells
Until the pages are ripped out
Through our forced open mouths,
Until our ashes settle on the ground.

Come unwound,
Blooming.

In hallowed ground
The seeds settle down.
In hallowed ground
So please settle down.

For Ian Creath and Drew Wallace
Continued dosing
Of one sacred root
Until I'm through
Coughing up and learning
From their ghosts.

Each separate dying ember
Falls across the floor.
