Feel the waves around you
Falling through a mirror
Trapped inside your ribcage
My prayers are whispers
So I don't irritate your throat
So you can still breathe the air outside
So I can get some light

My skin is porous
And my nails are crooked
Feeling ever wicked inside of you
Following your bruises
And peeking out through your
Cuts every once in a while

My life is devoted
To observing your choices
Traveling to your ear canals
Telling you the universe's secrets

And I will follow all your veins
Do you know your body's stained?
Remember all those bar room floors
Eyes hypnotized by silent words
Shaped out of her lonely corpse

Your sailing on a small boat craft
You tell yourself to not look back
And theyre calling for you
From the homeland shore

You will never see their faces anymore.

And finding yourself all alone
The raining and shivers turn to stone
There are eyes peeking at you through the dark
Watching you as your soul embarks

Sporatic thoughts grow through your head
Youre dancing on a riverbed
All the while your sinking slowly down
Your eyes are bright joy and light
You've never seemed so satisfied
Being on the very edge of death
All the while your losing your breath
