Hey

Oh

Yeah

Mm

Under the intense scrutiny of Ligeia's eyes

I have felt the full knowledge

And force of their expression

Oh

Oh yeah

And yet been unable to possess it

And have felt it leave me

Leave me

As so many other things have left

So many other things have left

The letter half read

The letter half read

The bottle half drunk

Half drunk

Finding

Finding

Finding in the commonest objects of the universe

Hey

A circle of analogies

Of metaphors

Oh yeah

For that expression

That expression

Which has been willfully

With held from me

With held from me

The access to the inner soul denied

Inner soul denied

I wanna know

In consideration

In consideration

In consideration of the faculties and impulses

Oh

Of the human soul

Of the human soul

Of the human soul

In consideration

Of our arrogance

We have all overlooked the propensity

We saw no need for it

The paradoxical something which we may call perverseness

Perverseness

Oh yeah

Through it's promptings we act without

Comprehensible object

We act for the reason we should not

We should not

We act for the reason we should not

Should not

For certain minds this is absolutely irre irre

Irresistible

Irresistible

Irresistible

The conviction of the wrong

Or impolicy of an action

Yeah

Is often the unconquerable force

The unconquerable force

It is a primitive impulse

Primitive impulse

It is a primitive impulse

Oh yeah

Primitive impulse

The overwhelming tendency

The overwhelming tendency to do

Wrong for the wrong's sake

Wrong for the wrong's sake

To do wrong for the wrong's sake

We persist in acts

Because we feel that we

Should not persist in them

Because we feel will will

Should not persist per persist in them ah

Oh

So I wanna know
