Melting Amber

Imposter, where are the seams in your crooked mask?

Duplicate, why do you drape yourself in familiar skin?

Automaton, you merely imitate who I once loved

You cannot be, you cannot be, you cannot be

The echo maker took you from me

Through eventide, I wander blind

Twilight eyes, seeking sight

Amber designs, melt raptured skies

Obscured lies, your glowing mind

Nature has a cunning way to find our weakest spots

Oh, Delphic replica

You shift me back to Ithaca

Where we once fell in endless blue

A hue no longer found in you

In tongues, you emit memory

In tongues, you emulate

But your once earthly kiss, now alien

Persuades me that you imitate, you imitate

You imitate, I disassociate

Beneath a golden temple of delusion

I drain the honey (each drip)

Falling from the tree of sight (each drip)

A Sun in my eyes (each drip)

And in that final drip (I recognise you)

Through eventide, I wander blind

Twilight eyes, seeking sight

Amber designs, melt raptured skies

Obscured lies, my glowing mind

The fruit of my tree are sick and few

Infection seething through and through

I dance deluded in a chemical downpour

Hoping that I will see you once more

To feel that vibrant love in agape

Devoid of all chicanery

To see the mask removed

To see the colours of truth

Melt, melt the amber

To see the crystal blue

Melt the amber to see the crystal blue

Melt, melt the amber

To see the crystal blue
