Mad Girl's Noize
World obscures; lilies dry, brittle and cold.
Living like the rest requires a fee.
Submerging in water becomes so old.
Vast fields of sense bring us into a fold.
Mistrustful, foolish, mad man — can’t you see?
World obscures; lilies dry, brittle and cold.
Kill off our desires and do as we were told.
We must set it aside and let it be.
Submerging in water becomes so old.
But how can you play, act and be so bold?
Listen to my cry; listen to my plea.
World obscures; lilies dry, brittle and cold.
Sit scheming with my sanity you sold.
Oh, brother, father, kin — won’t you help me?
Submerging in water becomes so old.
Watch the rigid congealment of my mold,
And always recall the imminent fee.
World obscures; lilies dry, brittle and cold.
Submerging in water becomes so old.
