words shriek in my head
creep out from beneath my bed
bouncing, bouncing
opaque veins, violent blue
bark that cracks, centuries new
drowning, drowning
you soul is trapped; restrained
my fingers cannot quite grasp
save me, save me,
the water stings, slaps, unclean
and we monotonously grieve
empty, empty
walk a line, thick not fine
cast a whisper to the gallows
sing, sing
walk alone missing patches of skin
pretending something remains
help, help
eye level, shuttered blows
sagging shoulders and echoed cusps
follow, follow
sink and bob and ebb and flow
i follow the River i follow the Sun
go, go
