Black Luminescing Epiphany ~ Poetry / Lyrics ~ Mobius∆Tripz

Would you dance with me through brightness? Would you follow me through black? For the sweetest damned time of your life— every dream within your grasp?

Would you ride with me through heaven? There is nothing down below. Take the hand I’m holding outward. Walk into my machinery.

Let’s go.

Velvet mouth carnival teeth painted horses breathing steam

Every mirror knows your hunger every window holds a dream

Tell the gate what you pray for watch it dress your prayer in gold

Every longing has a lever every promise has a hold

Right this way the makers made it just your size your private show

Take the hand I’m holding outward walk into the afterglow

Is that applause or pistons?

Does it matter if they move you?

One more light one more doorway

One more version coming true

Walk with me into my machinery Dreams fulfilled—enter here

One more turn and you can have it one more height and it appears

All you wanted waits before you always just an inch away

Walk with me into my machinery

Let’s go.

Truth waits outside the turnstile while relief comes painted white

For a moment nothing follows for a moment wrong feels right

Every memory stops screaming when the calliope begins

Every wound becomes a ticket every ticket lets you in

Hydraulics stammer under canvas metal stampers clack in time

Shredding wheels with no dampening make confetti of the signs

Behind the glass the faces gather

Hands against the polished steel

Mouths are moving shaped like prayers

Teeth take everything you feel

Is that a heartbeat or a hammer?

Is that mercy or a chain?

If the medicine feels holy why does everyone else bleed?

Fall with me into my machinery Dreams fulfilled—enter here

One more turn and you can have it one more height and it appears

All you wanted waits before you always just an inch away

Fall with me into my machinery

Let’s go.

Up the first hill slowly clicking

Every tooth receives the rail

Every promise pulls you higher every warning leaves the trail

Hands above you weightless laughter

Nothing underneath your feet

Then the summit holds you breathless

Just before the sudden steep

Down through every bright illusion up through every borrowed high

Roller-coaster gods beneath you painting circles in the sky

Around again the painted horses

Around again the midway lights

Around again the same beginning

wearing different clothes tonight

Now the gears are barely moving but they never really stop

Every second opens wider every bottom looks like top

There—the hands that tried to hold me flattened shadows in the chrome

There—the rooms I left behind me still pretending I’ll come home

There—the promises I buried turning slowly through the teeth

There—the younger face that entered still untouched beneath my feet

I can see it clearly

Clarity is not a key

I know every wheel and hunger I know every hidden seam

I can name the thing that takes me

I still call it what I need

Stay with me inside my machinery Dreams fulfilled—disappear

One more turn and you can have it one more height and it appears

All you wanted waits before you always just an inch away

Stay with me inside my machinery

Let go.

Look at me.

Still breathing.

Every fall has made me tall.

Every scar confirms the gospel—

nothing takes me nothing will

I have walked through every fire I have swallowed every sun

If the machine could ever kill me wouldn’t it have already done it?

Call the leash a lifeline

Call the cage a throne

Call the hands that keep me helpless the only hands I’ve ever known

Higher

Higher

Every warning falls below

I am more than flesh and consequence

I am—

Let’s go.

Past the money past the bodies

Past the names in burning lights

Past the lover made of mirrors vanishing from every side

Past the house I almost lived in

Past the life I almost chose

Past the hands still reaching for me

Past the mouth that never closed

Hydraulics stammer stampers hammer

Clacking iron shredding steel

Nothing softened nothing dampened

Nothing left I cannot feel

Higher

Higher

Paper kingdoms golden strings

Every dream remains before me tied to faster-moving wings

Higher

Higher

Nothing reaches nothing stays

All the future I was promised

always just an inch away

Stay with me inside my machinery Death fulfilled—disappear

One last turn and you can have it one last height and it is here

All you wanted waits before you always just an inch away

Stay with me inside my machinery

Let go.

At the summit darkness opened

Black luminescing epiphany

I thought my hands controlled the motion

The motion carried me

I thought the suffering made me sacred

I thought the fall would set me free

I thought I carved the monument

The chisel entered me

My memories became the pigment

My body fed the masterpiece

Every prayer became a purchase

Every wound became a fee

I was never making art

The art was making me.

Dreams fulfilled.

Enter here.

Come this way.

Walk with me.
