First line: The street I walked now bears my name

Complete Lyrics

Horror Vacui

The street I walked now bears my name, but my travelogue goes on
'efore the cradle and beyond the grave, phrases written, figures drawn
If you ask me how I feel there's colours fill my mind
There's snails and birds and rings of bells
with spirals of all kinds: Horror Vacui

I breathe the musty manuscripts in the asylum library
I paint the Waldau walls and pages lest they flee from me
Numbers crowding in on me and the words are piling high
My tongue all swollen, ears are ringing
pain behind the eye: Horror Vacui

Monday morning: Pencil morning, the stumps are burning fast
A treasure with the same old warning: you know it's gotta last
I haven't moved since I got in, abused, I did as I was done by
There's room for nightmares, memories
and secrets from the mind
Horror Vacui
