Turn my eyes inward
Scatter the nerves that flirt with shades pale and bright
My skin crimson and sour
Like an untimely foetus
Let it roll into a curl facedown
Reduce that deadly tongue
To the serpent it fears being
Race down to my swollen belly
When the trinity is gone
Darkness will prevail
And we'll see once again.

Turn my eyes inward
Scatter the nerves that flirt with shades pale and bright
My skin crimson and sour
Like an untimely foetus
Let it roll into a curl facedown
Reduce that deadly tongue
To the serpent it fears being
Race down to my swollen belly
When the trinity is gone
Darkness will prevail
And we'll see once again.
