I spend my downtime digging holes that five fifths couldn't fill Snakes and serpents in my grass don't hisssss But they **** Still digging, digging To find how deep the self-hatred goes When I finally reach the bottom of the pit, I'll let you know But you'll never really know. Not unless you're down here with me— And you're not. It's me verse the world. I rehearse my curses And inverse my pearls I clam up, clamp shut And let darkness unfurl so dark, So Dark But I can still see the stars I also see that they're all yours And not ours I don't see the light nor do I feel the guilt I hark the barters of midnight And watch the eyes in the hills; Geminis cry for more heighth While my wrists mine for stilts We pray and prey in the forest for more, and more, and more mills But the trees don't fall.

Preying in the forest...
I spend my downtime digging holes that five fifths couldn't fill Snakes and serpents in my grass don't hisssss But they **** Still digging, digging To find how deep the self-hatred goes When I finally reach the bottom of the pit, I'll let you know But you'll never really know. Not unless you're down here with me— And you're not. It's me verse the world. I rehearse my curses And inverse my pearls I clam up, clamp shut And let darkness unfurl so dark, So Dark But I can still see the stars I also see that they're all yours And not ours I don't see the light nor do I feel the guilt I hark the barters of midnight And watch the eyes in the hills; Geminis cry for more heighth While my wrists mine for stilts We pray and prey in the forest for more, and more, and more mills But the trees don't fall.
