The Mirror-Blue Night

BOYS

Flip on a switch, and everything's fine -

No more lips, no more tongue, no more ears, no more eyes

The naked blue angel, who peers through the blinds

Disappears in the gloom of the mirror-blue night

MELCHIOR

But there's nowhere to hide from these bones, from my mind

It's broken inside - I'm a man and a child

I'm at home with a ghost, who got left in the cold

Who knocks at my peace, with no keys to my soul

BOYS

And the whispers of fear, the chill up the spine

Will steal away too, with a flick of the light

The minute you do, with fingers so blind

You remove every but of the blue from your mind

MELCHIOR

But there's nowhere to hide from the ghost in my mind

It's cold in these bones - of a man and a child

And there's no one who knows, and there's nowhere to go

There's no one to see who can see to my soul
