Universal Separation Lyrics - Singles - Void Of Silence

a century of universal decay 

in cyclotrons nuclei are split 

souls are split, sounds are split insanely 

while behind a quiet fence on a bench in someone's garden 

doom weighs a century of separation 

and her eyes are ancient and her palms are taut with nerves 

it comes oozing 

out of flowers at night 

it comes out of the rain 

if a snake looks skyward 

it comes out of chairs and tables 

if you don't point at them and say their names 

it comes into your mouth while you sleep 

pressing like a washcloth 

beware, beware 

nearby and cynical, death brandishes a hasty spade 

here whispers are worse than curses, offer no consolation 

how long the bureaucrats babbled on like crows about universal good... 

if you meet a cross eyed person 

you must plunge into the grass, alongside the chilly ants 

fish through the green fingernails and come up with the four leaf clover 

or your blood with congeal like cold gravy 

if you run across a horseshoe, passerby, stop, take your hands out of your 

pockets 

and count the nails as you count your children or your money 

otherwise a sand flea will crawl in your ear and fly into your brain 

and the only wall you'll keep from going mad, is to be hit with a hammer 

every hour 

if a hunchback is in the elevator with you 

don't turn away... don't turn away 

immediately touch his hump 

for a child will be born from his back tomorrow 

and if he promptly bites the baby's nails off 

so it won't become a thief that child will be holy 

and you, simple bird that you are, may go on flying 

whan you knock on wood 

and you go 

you knock on the cross
