There’s a pressure building up behind my eyes Will I release it if I cry? Will I release it if I die? There’s a shakiness in his hands, in my hands There’s a shakiness in the word ‘goodbye’ I’ve got fear, in puddles and petals I sense men who disturb and unsettle They lurk by my feet, they eat and eat And threaten to make my body a vessel And the devil is crawling between my lips Offering me wine, offering me sips Hands covering ears, chest covered in fears My head feels heavy as it all takes a dip
