An Orphic Ordeal Lyrics by Victor Primavesi

Vampirism Is My Demise

2021

I can see and I can hear…
Am I past the inferno or is it near?
What’s that noise?
I can tell there’s a riot in every cell
For how long will I lie here before I will disappear?
Am I gone or on my way?
I’m still where I never meant to stay
Six feet above and overpowered
I woke up from my final hour
Dug my hole too deep
I guess I tried
I am tall but too small inside
How can I make this right?
How can I stand upright?
With a secret that buries me deeper than I’d longed to be
From the familiar I am estranged
What is real?
And what has changed?
A sour taste on my dry lips
A burning fire in my finger tips
I can’t breathe
I can’t make a sound
My knees give in
I kiss the ground
There is nothing feathery to how gravity summons me
Six feet above and overpowered
I woke up from my final hour
Dug my hole too deep
I guess I tried
I am tall but too small inside
How can I make this right?
How can I stand upright?
With a secret that buries me deeper than I’d longed to be
I had licked and sealed every envelope
Wishes to loved ones full of hope
A solemn greeting from beyond the grave
Blood-stained last words I had saved
I burnt all of them but I could not erase the act itself
It did not incinerate
How do you announce, how do you to say:
“Hey, I am almost died, by the way”
Six feet above and overpowered
I woke up from my final hour
Dug my hole too deep
I guess I tried
I am tall but too small inside
How can I make this right?
How can I stand upright?
With a secret that buries me deeper than I’d longed to be
I never mentioned it to another soul
Pretended it never happened
But it had happened
And that is why every day since felt like a lie
(I thought I could forget)
“Actually, I'm doing quite all right”
“Well… you know what it’s like”
(What am I still doing here?)
I swallowed every subordinate clause
I had no strength to plead my cause
(I had made my peace with the past)
Six feet above and overpowered
I woke up from my final hour
Dug my hole too deep
I guess I tried
I am tall but too small inside
How can I make this right?
How can I stand upright?
With a secret that buries me deeper than I’d longed to be
