Ghostlimb - Difficult Loves lyrics

I followed you down some dark alleys And found a few cul-de-sacs of my own Tied to the dual grace of war within and composure unknown That eclipse desire unleashed Rushed through the veins Bypa**ed the prostrate heart And with avarice sought the brain The cloaked thief of indiscretion and impunity's velvet rule A kinship well worn laid waste the unity of throttlehold and jugular Agon attentive never derelict of his duty Only purged by the smart of acuity You knew everything the north south west and east With familiarity the geography of their bodies And we rend it asunder rend asunder through Circulation circumscribed and a fist clenched tight We gripped it with one hand Then kicked it down the stairs Conscience: a tumor on the body of early morning The dual grace of necks hacked clean Ripped through the fence-sitting agnostics With the causticity of complete certainty To release A Virgil in the Lethe A Baron in the trees A body washed ashore on Caracol Beach Every atrocious moon and every son bitter The ever-flowing fount of piss and vinegar Across the fields of youth filled with loss and doom Emerge clearer "The naked man climbed a willow tree. The valley was all woods and shrub-covered slopes, under a gray hump of mountain. But at the end of it, where the torrent turned, there was a slate roof with white smoke coming up. Life, thought the naked man, was a hell, with rare moments recalling some ancient paradise."¹
