hey colossus - the mirror (feat. mark lanegan) lyrics

Loading...

it was on the 13th revolution of blueberry hill
that i’d decided the needle had had enough

i pulled myself from the rocker
looking like a dangled tangerine peel
held by invisible fingers

yanking a knife from the lifeless flesh lump by my feet
i replaced the stylus

it suddenly felt important not to overthink things

as i gripped out for a hoop of key like figures with my spare hand

they glowed upon a carbon peg on the wall
bent awfully by overuse

picked and replaced

slowly i made my way
convincing head and heart to remain calm
towards something resembling a lock drawn on the mirror
in a substance bordering on obscene

i had that feeling in my stomach again
akin to what a spent despot must go through
down in his bunker
waiting for a military coup
as shocks of electricity
poured into the room
the sound of whips cracking
furiously filled the air
as i positioned key loosely to lock

or did the lock gravitate towards me?

i heard a loud cl!ck
and a purl of smoke rose from the cap of my temple
accelerating quickly
into an inverted niagaran+like cataract

i turned sharply on my heels
to see a silver gas apparate over the pillowed seat

the mirror split
into shimmering horizontal ribbons

gently i passed through the rippling vapors

i walked like a blind man attempting to navigate a black hole
with a white stick

as i disappeared
my ears sharpened
and i heard that familiar static
and the replacing of the needle once more…
