THE TEA PARTY LYRICS - Alarum

"Alarum"



I took a slide, slipping down a staircase

A Piranesian dream

My senses reeled, distorted about the darkness

A lit my way with a scream

And in the rave an alarum caused a

Cracked mirror

I got confused by the sound

I turned around and touched it from a distance

and then it fell to the ground



Loud cry from the shallows

Lust feeds on the fear

Walls crack under pressure

I think the end is getting near



And in my mind that was the furry of a madness

That consecrated the dirt

I stumbled through the enigma of the reason

And celebrated the hurt

And then I found in an act of desperation

A subtle rip in the heart

I was seduced by the fear (taste) of devastation

and then it tore me apart



Oh no, nothing matters!

When it takes me

Where it rapes me, breaks me

Shakes me down



A quick escape from the fear of commination

I slept the night with my spleen

A thin exuse, I was searching for some answers

I broke away from the scene

Because after all animality's an instinct

And its Luxuria's slave

To taste the truth, it's a seizure of the senses

And its a foot in the grave
