The Glass Factory




I never want to lose you
I split heaven and it's deadened
By lights so splendid
I don't want to lose you
I drink the devils venom and
Bequest my enslaved mind
To your memory (singed in it)
I may lose you
I never had a somber flat
Note until the river Styx
Rocked my boat

Because I died when I tried
To disappear in a wisp of smoke
I lay in blunt destruction
With a ridged platform, stratified,
Intertwined with our,
the,
 Interstellar glass factory
