Conspiracy of Owls

How very thoughtless of you
To remain unknown/unseen
Out of the sight on the ledge
Hanging on with scarred wings
Because you have gone through thought battle
And you have lost in fair game
Observing the curves on the cat's head
A cycle of flies will remain

Old king of shadows whose wisdom we seek
Old king of liars tell please
How can we know the conspiracy then?
How can we spread the disease?

A birthday on the doll's theater
Where all great wonders must die
Lift to the gift shop of the stars
I prefer a stormless sky

Many strange things can happen
Here in the flesh circus, child
Once you have gone through the process
Once you are lost in the wild
Old king of shadows whose wisdom we seek
Old king of liars tell please
How can we know the conspiracy then?
How can we spread the disease?

It's a wonderful world and terrible still
A beautiful place to be stripped
Standing in line for a coward's mystery unzipped
