thus changes every smile to a wan cool thing
and every tune to something else I dare not sing

words unsaid but etched in stone
thus always, love and love alone

thus transmogrify from man to beast
that which thinks and knows the least

words on walls around a soul
thus always man is never whole

thus changes every sign to hot desire
and every poem to kindling for a fire

words unsaid, forgotten in the haze
and every tune means less as it plays

thus transmogrify from beast to man
the knows and thinks and has no plan
