I know nothing of death I know nothing of life yet I still crave creation and destruction I crave like a god eager to meet its creatures and walk with bare feet across the oceans and the forests and the icy mountains getting stuck in my toes like rusty nails in a house under construction and I crave the blood that will follow and make rivers across the landslides I crave its richness painting natural crevices in a way hands never could I crave the sweet rotting of death in the soil being eaten and taken apart and yet feel like part of a whole for the first time I crave and gnaw my teeth in the dead silence of night my extremities with pins and needles urging me to do to be I crave like a monster and feel like a demon looking in the mirror And I crave like an angel desperate to go home to the stars and beyond

Crave
I know nothing of death I know nothing of life yet I still crave creation and destruction I crave like a god eager to meet its creatures and walk with bare feet across the oceans and the forests and the icy mountains getting stuck in my toes like rusty nails in a house under construction and I crave the blood that will follow and make rivers across the landslides I crave its richness painting natural crevices in a way hands never could I crave the sweet rotting of death in the soil being eaten and taken apart and yet feel like part of a whole for the first time I crave and gnaw my teeth in the dead silence of night my extremities with pins and needles urging me to do to be I crave like a monster and feel like a demon looking in the mirror And I crave like an angel desperate to go home to the stars and beyond
