Outside it was them, inside corrupt   When I looked upon them it was a suit, A tool,   It was just for show, Trickery was its weapon It was but a vessel To harbour that which spread with a touch It was Corrupted, Rotting, Decaying, It needed to be free, Before the shell decomposed And became but putrid flesh and bone, The one that was there, Personality, Spirit, Life, Was gone, the shell was a trick A walking death, but no one was home, It will taint those who loved It will consume you, Never let it touch or hold, For it will taint your soul And after its finished You will no longer be you, But a shell of corruption, evils new home.

The Shell
Outside it was them, inside corrupt   When I looked upon them it was a suit, A tool,   It was just for show, Trickery was its weapon It was but a vessel To harbour that which spread with a touch It was Corrupted, Rotting, Decaying, It needed to be free, Before the shell decomposed And became but putrid flesh and bone, The one that was there, Personality, Spirit, Life, Was gone, the shell was a trick A walking death, but no one was home, It will taint those who loved It will consume you, Never let it touch or hold, For it will taint your soul And after its finished You will no longer be you, But a shell of corruption, evils new home.
