Phase Testo

That night when I lifted my head up
& I was seeing what was trembling there
On the edge of my restless eyelid
On the tip of the horizon's lash
On the lip of the collapsing letter
In the lap of the confusing moon
I'm reduced to an estranged illusion
I'm consumed by all the shit in my room

Well then maybe if you pick my room up Carve a path in my moonlit floor
Through the colors I adorn my body with
In ritual
A life I adore

Nowadays I usually just get up
Put on a sweater from the day before
Like you said it's got to get better
I wear my shadow like a uniform

I'm torn right through
Divided right in two

So while I do align my library
By the colors on the spine of my books
When I'm looking for a resolution
But there's wreckage everywhere I look
& there's brambles scratching at the window
& there's silver shining on the thorns
I could've sworn the moon's singing to me Strung in a phase so strange & torn

Now the stars look fake & strung up
& the colors on the floor are worn
& the hues on my body are muted
In the shadow, my uniform

I'm torn right through
Divided right in two
I'm lost without using
The brightest light I knew
That I knew
