LIKE LEATHER IN THE RAIN
SLIDE OFF YOUR FLUID FRAME
RUNNING DOWN BOTH OF YOUR LEGS
WET YOUR BODY THEN INTO THE STORM DRAIN
PINNED TO THE BATHROOM WALL
A BROKEN MIRROR
NEXT TO AN OPEN STALL
TWO LILLIES ON THE FLOOR
CRUSHED INTO VIOLET VIOLENCE
I HEARD
YOU NEVER DREAM
YOU NEVER DIE
YOU NEVER SPEAK
YOU WOULD RATHER CRY
ANGEL DRESSED IN DIRTY WHITE
ON AN EARTHBOUND NIGHT
WHO IS THAT GIRL I SEE
SHE’S THE ONE WHO KEEPS HAUNTING ME
OUT OF THE HALLWAY
LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT
UP DOWN GET DOWN
WATCH ME RISE
JUST SAY MY NAME AND I’LL APPEAR
YOU KNOW I’LL ALWAYS HEAR YOUR PRAYER
ST. DAMIAN
ST. DAMIAN
AND YOU’RE NEVER ALONE BECAUSE I’M YOUR HOLY GHOST

This work pulled me right into its warbling and disturbing world, much as Doldrum's A Knocking... did (same vocalist?). The mentally-unglued vocals, belting out unsettling lyrics, waver through the haze of synths and guitars, while the rhythm section drives forward with grim resolve. Loved as well crafting a specific situation in a specific place: I could feel the dirt on my cut hands as I desperately sought the flowing black liquid throne beneath. pinkytheent
