DEAFHEAVEN
"From The Kettle Onto The Coil"

Stagnant strangers romance
On crowded pathways below
Admiring the stage's glistening coat
The reflection on the sill
Giving the cheekbones their due
Praising the worth of porcelain skin
My shades of blonde dancing in the high sun
I gave labor to the grief
To the squinting spectator
Who drank in the despair
As I tiptoed off the plane of existence
And drifted listlessly through the velvet blackness of oblivion
I am what I always was
Gleaming and empty
