[Intro] A fractured thought, a muzzled prayer A violent whisper, huddled rain I waken cruelly new aware In ether-wrestled frightened pain Unseen, unasked, in thought untuned I smell of gold and red In candied polished vanished bloom An intangible elusive thread A floor slams shut in that bold sky Her wisdom is not graying She winks at where I used to fly My consciousness is straying [Chorus] Black time is tangled, thick and dense Its grip avoiding corporeality Rich nothing veils not making sense My vanquished bewildered unreality [Instrumental interlude] Harsh mists of green unwilling facts Are pushing at the wishes And grabbing yellow melting acts Not eaten by pink ambitions A doubt that clanged, resistant, kind Is fumbled in the silence And faithful smoke intense, unlined Is lost in failed defiance [Chorus] Black time is tangled, thick and dense Its grip avoiding corporeality Rich nothing veils not making sense My vanquished bewildered unreality That quaver zings by tearing, guessing That cloud is singing, unconversational And can't resist vilely confessing A casual adjustment that's so rational I must accept my unreal pressing And will enjoy my being fictional [Outro] [End]
