Cut the cords attached to jawbones in my head
Trudge through other vacuous nights
In search of words I’ve never said
And in my skin chrysalis
Plot my metamorphosis
Into something capable of escaping this
Dropping letters from the moon
On my tongue, the fragments of the shattered night
Brandish your wood crucifix
For my mind shelters the witch
and I can feel her breathing through the forest
The world mutates
All for you
Completed by my flaws again
Rejected creations crawl into view
Wavelengths of razorblades sever my thoughts of you
All six legs perforate the planet
All meaning restored
Unleashing colors I’ve absorbed
Shadows covering all the earth
Are nothing yet
I fantasized the ending of all things
To shed the emptiness
Heart’s myopic microscopic dream
I separate shape from hue
The form and the lucidity
Rejected creations crawl into view
Wavelengths of razorblades sever my thoughts of you
I taste the bodies at my feet
The sweetness saves
And I’ve got my hope stuck in my
One forgiving grave
If that’s not real enough
To make you want to stay
I keep my soul tucked safely away
At night I lay in my head
And I think about species
The uncommon disappointment
I’m not one of them at all
So what’s the point of breathing in
When all this oxygen is poisonous,
Tainted by humans?
I’m not breathing anymore
Wings unfurled, all bodies crushed with no remorse
Now what was one is everything
Infinitely living in the oceans only some could see
Shadows cover all the earth and nothing’s left
I fantasized the ending of all things
To shed the emptiness
Heart’s myopic microscopic dream
