sophia - gnostic disco girl
do a twirl for me
i can't stop seeing god in shattered beer bottles by the street
lobotomized with a set of tubular chimes
hear the hum inside my head
a choir, a lonely angel's hymn
polyester wings in shreds

some people, it kills them inside

but she works the night shift just to feel alive
because the pain brings her a little closer
she's a smart girl once you get to know her
she's wild like the wind
untamed, whorish and free

i told her - push me off the ledge, and see if i can fly
and either way you're stuck with me cause angels never die
your sweatshop is my brothel, baby
her virgin hair tangled in machinery, mangle me, baby
tear it off at the root, it'll never grow back again
never the same as before
she always glowed softly, but the last time i saw her
she burned, burned, burned

follow me into the realm of the sleep and lie down next to me
into an isolation tank, autophagic reality
her eyes are a fractal hallway formed when two mirrors become one
she's a fibonacci sequence formed when two numbers become none
i poison everything i touch
i'm liquid mercury
please turn me into solid gold through the power of alchemy

i was struck in the face with a fistful of light
i've got to remind myself that i chose this life
i won the lottery, and i lost the bet
i smile when you curse my name, whisper "don't forget me yet"
