lyrics

Tow-Headed Boy (Achluophobia)

My mind, all violence like electric rain outside the window's view.
When a revelation rattles you, parallels paralyze.
Oh, things are equally wrought of acid & alkali.

& I'm back,
a tow-headed boy,
crippled by fear in his bed,
dizzied by the spin of the world again.

I was struggling to untie my knotted guts.
It shook me to my very roots in my pitch-black room overnight.
But [I know,] "there's nothing there in the dark
that isn't there in the light."

[Still I] sleep with the television on,
wading through the snowstorm fuzz.

I was being chased through the streets by my nightmare nerves,
in the throes of fever tossed & turned
to the beat of old Death's whispered words;
a writhing black cloud descends & envelopes the earth.

& I'm back,
a tow-headed boy,
crippled by fear in his bed,
dizzied by the spin of the world again.
Except now,
it's my bourgeois blues,
my pawn shop soul, & the nightly news
that keep me screaming.
