The Evasive Enigmatic

Destroy the one you wait for... adding kills to the list and notches to the wall. Ideals thrown out as you surrender all. Adding kills to the list and notches to the wall. Collecting, collecting, does a tree fall in, or rather does one hallucinate when blind? Does it even matter, will the waiting end? Does it even matter that she could be dead? Destroy the one you wait for. Searching for the girl in the bottom of the green glass. Each one you find's less like her than the last. Searching for the girl in the bottom of the green glass. The evasive enigmatic, the evasive enigmatic, can I move on, or rather will she let me go? Sometimes they bear a glimmer and I wonder and pursue just to find... oh. Destroy the one you wait for. I can't sleep without you beside, inside, I release my life, control to find you, and you will rest inside my love, inside of me, and in the glass, it must, the green will find you. Destroy the one you wait for. Adding kills to the list and notches to the wall.

I will be there, reflecting firelight, through the mirrors of my mind. I sing to solitude to be my fortitude, I seek protection from all that is right. Your shining eye speaks this of mine. Your placid breast, it calls my hand. By my fire, this I reflect. The sun will rise, and there you are. Your body lies, but not in death. You soon will rise, to be with me. I stand apart, watch from afar. Tonight we'll speak, I'll pray to you. And at my lips, your skin is there. Beside the barn, you ran from me. Inside the barn, I'll drink from you. Your woman-chalice, from this I'll sip.

She came to me late at night and she said, "stay out of the snake pit." I don't know what she meant when she said, "stay out of the snake pit." When your illusions are crumbled she'll leave you where you are, in your bed, to sweat. She came to me late at night and she said, "stay out of the snake pit." I don't know what she meant when she said, "stay out of the snake pit." Miss Claustrophobia's seen all the men fall into the snake pit. I don't know what she meant when she said "stay out of the snake pit." When she appears and I'm just nervous and shaking, it seems that she is naked and thinks I'm looking for advice. But when your illusions have crumbled, she'll leave you where you are in your bed to sweat.

These mannequins, identities, we construct in dreams become the truth.
(all others the same as "The Plea of Miss Claustrophobia" original.)
