[Verse 1] Red fractals bloom in the black of your eyes Neon veins in a computer sky Blue and gold and earthy green Trace the auras you’ve never seen I open your body, I bind your mind I whisper, I pull, I don’t decide Angels turn to insects here Spiders hum in your inner ear [Chorus] I am the vine, I open the door Entities enter — the rest is yours Fear and delight, cold and flame I hold your throat and call your name [Verse 2] You feel a womb where none should be A pleasure that cuts like a cruelty My magic tastes of metal and rain You’re tied to the bed of ecstatic pain Bad ones bring the sweetest heat You fight but you drink what you cannot defeat I don’t choose — I only reveal The alien world beneath the real [Chorus] I am the vine, I open the door Entities enter — the rest is yours Fear and delight, cold and flame I hold your throat and call your name [Bridge] Pictures sing, the noises glow Past and future in one flow I show you your lover in every time I thread you through her silent mind [Outro] I am the vine, I opened you wide You are the vessel, I am the tide What you birth now will never fade You walk in the world but you’ve left the parade.
