lyrics

a rain of ash gently falls in the rooms of his dreams
in the dark his arm is hanging from the bed
while droning voices vibrate in his skull
like whispered screams.

standing before his mother's lipsticks
eye shadows and creams
he wonders if the mirror holds the dead
and a rain of ash gently falls in the rooms of his dreams.

his father teaches vaguely
that God punishes and redeems
he feels His eye upon him in his bed
while droning voices vibrate in his skull
like whispered screams.

so he assumes that God is onto all his
nasty little schemes
as insects fall beneath his careless tread
and a rain of ash gently falls in the rooms of his dreams.

he looks toward the bright sky
and his eyes squint as he beams
his father rests a hand on his head
and a rain of ash gently falls in the rooms of his dreams
while droning voices vibrate in his skull
like whispered screams.
