These nightmares you have, you hold in your heart, The times now long past, Will tear you apart When all that you hold, down deep in your soul, Are feelings you have of things that you know
Scarlett laced liquid runs through each bone To the twitch of the eyes that turn you to stone With every breath exhaled Your heart beats the eulogy And the tempo is slowed
The creatures fear as you lay in your bed Are the firstborn of fright you hold in your head By manifest loathing in the things that you’ve seen In things that are done and places you’ve been
The tears down your eyes are like chills down your spine In the sadness that’s shown and fear in its kind
The look in your ocean-sprayed eye betrays your still hands And relay the soft meaning your lips could demand
