Non Compos Mentis

Ft. CiderTalk'84



A god descended from heaven to create us

Those he could not kill, they were ignorant

Of flesh and glass, no ability to create us again


With so many hands labeled in thousand's eyes

To the ends of that endless Earth


I'd stop love from taking my place

Holding your broken heart close to my own

Tears become laughter, and thoughts defy supersedure


(In my teeth and through my teeth

As I cheer, and as I cry)


He tossed us to winds and grieved when we were lost

Though physically, we were slight and fragile

Unable to hold the common heart


Wrecked and morose, there is dichotomy in the sufferer

Irony is my release

And it seems like moments


Your strangeness is an invitation

Surely, let us taste our hearts once again

I thought that my affection would keep us apart at last


I'll scream at you with my most passionate voice

Our flesh and wounds are moving into your mold

The tendons in my fingers feel so different

It's my lonely slumber I wish to burn with blood


My mouth turned red like tears once more

Look back around to the mirror we scratched into the wall

Build your shells, it's calculated imperfection

Hoping we'll forget that those tears are smoking guns


Let's end this Non Compos Mentis

Before it writes out our final ending

At least now, if I can at all forgive and forget myself?


(In my teeth and through my teeth

As I cheer, and as I cry)


“What is life without inducers?”
