There's a black forest in my brain
A blue boy that's gone half insane
From a bark both beast and man made

Ripping those woods like a rolling flame.

And that kid's been called every name

But he just swallows and behaves
Only when I'm done digging his grave
Will he turn to me, turn, and say.


I took every star down
Turned our compass around

I've done all that they've said
And I'm $#&@ing half dead
Think it's time to move on

Find our own fervor
And follow that sun.


But I won't leave like Gilgamesh
He should have just killed himself
It's a mercurial mess

Eternal life is death.

No, I'll leave like an Aeon

Flies from his Zion
And I'll hear Iron John
Singin' my song

'Cause I'm moving on
And I will dance past those
That tell me I'm wrong.


They can call me a fake
A mother's mistake

Hey, I'm a freak with no name
Just remember I stay
Primordial

I can transfigure
This flesh into soul.


I go and find a redwood
Climb into its womb
Escape down through my rabbit hole.

Soul threads are send reeling
Heart's reincarnating
And my bark sheds

Like snakeskin will.

Primordial. Prime Ordeal. Primordial.
