The Orchids

When all the numbers swim together

And all the shadows settle

When doors forced open shut again

A flytrap and a petal

My eyes burn and claws rush to fill them

And in the morning, after the night

I fall in love with the light

It is so clear, I realize

That here at last I have my eyes

When all the figures sound retreat

The soft skin starts to shrivel

When dreams made real become less sweet

The orchid and the metal

My sex turns and claws rush to spill them

But in the morning, after the night

I fall in love with the light

It is so pure, I can arrive

Without the fear of secret lies

When all the characters full-size

And every moon is level

When all the spirits burn in lies

The center pierced by steel

My eyes burn and claws rush to fill them

But in the morning, after the night

I fall in love with the light

It is so clear, I realize

And now at last I have my eyes

And in the morning after the night

I fall in love with the light

And in the morning after the night

I fall in love with the light

I fall in love with the light

And in the morning after the night

I fall in love with the light

I fall in love with the light

I fall in love with the light
