What to say in darkness,
hearing her spilling,
revering a thing she fears she is stealing,
can't believe in herself,
can't be too revealing,
seeking hurt as a replacement for dealing,
anything but the monotony
of the knife,
commonplace disasters not worth telling,
Outside in the sun selling,
the tolls of the soul,
to minutes that bleed into hours
licking the envelope shut has become sour,
and the light,
is reminiscent of a damning scent,
of pain, that sang, now eternally convalescent,
Rested among the years,
immaterial as the fears,
knocking at my doorstep, ripping the floorboards that make my bed,
Ask me the color of my thoughts, I'll say red,
find me there beside the seamstress,
watching her spin her dread,
gazing as she weaves herself dead,
preaching to the fire in my head,
apologies being on what this beast is fed,
The soul could not be,
if it's entirely bled,
the soul cannot be if it is entirely bled,
wise words of the fallen,
are not here,
but with the fallen,
and so this song is only dread.
