The sky drips ink
It stains my hands
A silent clock
No time to stand
I drink the tar
It pulls me down
Thick and black
It spins me round
I’m drowning
Drowning inside out
Smoke in my lungs
No way to shout
Echoes
They call
They pull
They bite
I’m lost
I’m lost
In endless night
A mirror cracks
But shows no face
A hollow laugh
It haunts this place
I’m breathing shadows
Thick and slow
A nightmare river where I flow
The stars are wounds
They bleed the dark
A frozen scream
A burning spark
I hold my breath
The silence roars
A thousand whispers
Behind locked doors
My fingers grasp
But touch no skin
A fading world
I’m trapped within
