lyrics

Strawberry Moon

Half raised to the glass with my own strangeness
crass to the gash that redeems my desire
Cutting my Light on the mirror of a Strawberry Moon
Silent and unhanded to kiss and kill on streetcorneers
Unnamed to drink of this prohibited fire
Half raised to the glass with my own strangeness
Suckling Apollo for the silk sake of scorners
we blaze out like might before midnight retires
Cutting my Light on the mirror of a Strawberry Moon
And I empty you to the grasp of mourners
last king to the thought that ideas make sires
Half raised to the glass with my own strangeness
But I don’t give up hopeless, not like the forelorners,
who angle their blades to string up their lyre
Cutting my Light on the mirror of a Strawberry Moon
Till it is a sky blackened by dying adorners
filled to the brim in its broken eyed shadowy scarred pyre
Half raised to the glass with my own strangeness
Cutting my Light on the mirror of a Strawberry Moon
