Alarum Lyrics - Transmission - Tea Party

I took a slide, slipping down a staircase 

A Piranesian dream 

My senses reeled distorted about the darkness 

I lit my way with a scream 

And in the rave an alarum caused a cracked mirror 

I got confused by the sound 

I turned around and touched it from a distance 

And then it fell to the ground 

Loud cry from the shallows 

Lust feeds on the fear 

Walls crack under pressure 

I think the end is getting near 

And in my mind it was the furry of a madness 

That consecrated the dirt 

I stumbled through the enigma of it's reason 

And celebrated the hurts 

And then I found in an act of desperation 

A subtle rip in the heart 

I was seduced by the taste of devastation 

And then it tore me apart 

Loud cry from the shallows 

Lust feeds on the fear 

Walls crack under pressure 

I think the end is getting near 

Oh no, nothing matters 

When it takes me 

Where it rapes me, breaks me 

Shakes me down 

A quick escape from the fear of commination 

I slept the night with a spleen 

A thin excuse, I was searching for some answers 

I broke away from the scene 

'Cause after all animality's an instinct 

And its luxurious slave 

To taste the truth, it's a seizure of the senses 

And its a foot in the grave 

Loud cry from the shallow 

Lust feeds on the fear 

Walls crack under pressure 

I think the end is getting near 

Oh no, nothing matters 

When it takes me 

Where it rapes me, breaks me 

Shakes me down 

Oh no, nothing matters 

When it takes me 

Where it rapes me, breaks me 

Shakes me down 

Oh no, nothing matters 

When it takes me 

Where it rapes me, breaks me 

Shakes me down
