The midnight prowl, tides of you and me
Too putrid and thick to be seen as the sea
I don’t want to gamble, to lose what may be
You hammered the bars, but I am still free

Now listen, don’t turn, don’t ignore what you feel
I hate you as well, your opinions of steel
When we sleep together, sharing a mind
I’m ready to die, to swallow you blind

Your thoughts rattle when I shake my head
You seem to squirm when you’re easily led
As we’re shaken by fears, racked with despair
Lashings of heat burn out what is fair

So leave me, please, I no longer need fall
I grew out of my huddle, my corner is small
I ****** my thumb to keep our disguise.
But you've tightened the  vacant space behind my eyes

It’s sick and grey when my body is eating
Thoughts of the others, my defence is a beating
So much of you is put into a greeting
But my friends got me through with every meeting.
