This is the slip This could mean anything A nocturnal hymn Metamorphosis, unending! This is the slip This could be a new beginning Or a terrible ending Well, here's to not knowing I am liquid flowing Therefore I am leaving To lay down the light Lay down the light This is the slip This is dark water rising One strange man's strange tale A book I am not reading Words of an exorcising This is the slip This is child's writing They are body markings We are contradicting I am still waiting I am yet to like this I wake up in my mornings One eye on the fire pit This is the slip This is the slip This is the slip Lay down the light Lay down the light Lay down the light Lay down the light This is the slip This is the slip This is the slip This is the slip
