Skin

the words they wrap around you

the lies

they weave

I believe

the words they wrap around me

with lies

they weave reality

 

the words they wrap around me

the lies

they weave

you believe

the words they wrap around you

with lies

they weave reality

 

we seek the edge

it separates me

and you

let the blade cleave

skin from flesh

we bleed humanity

 

we seek the edge

it guides me

and you

together anew

let the blade cleave

skin to flesh

surface to depth

we breathe humanity

 

we found the edge

and it cut me

and you

and the blood we spilled...

deep enough to drown in
