What Crawls Underneath Lyrics
meant to be trodden by manThese flowers have beennurtured for none's eyes These pebbles have neverbeen washed ashore Theseinner organs have neverbeen exposed to light Hyperion and Mimas orbitfor the pleasure of none Themarmot whistles for none'sear The acrobat performs inhis invisible-suit and mind'seye has never met anyone'sglance None has tore off themoss to see what crawlsunderneath Or lifted the veildrained the poolsdissolved the bloodstains None has unriddled myArchaic smile Or turned therusset key in my feeble lockBut someone might havebeen scratched by the clawsand impaled on the spearsand pierced by the thornsand the needlesand the stings
Atrox What Crawls Underneath
