Writhing Snakes

Talk to me in whispered tones, confessing with a devil's grin
Exactly what you want from me
Smiling, knowing I'll oblige
Holding pills with beckoning hands, coaxing me in from the cold
Rotted head and reddened eyes, beg me for one more mistake
Talk to me like I'm God, confessing through stifling tears
The emptiness that I fill
Though I stand a hollow man with nothing left to give
My body begging for warmth
Writhing snakes in sheets
Taste the air with flickering forked tongues
Coupled yet in solitude

Something Less
05:17
|

|
Loneliness breeding desperation
A festering fear of the alone
Led you here
To my arms
Hold me close
As a suicide vest
I have become your source of light
Blot me out before we both go blind
Together we'll burn
Immolating
To black ash
Taken by wind
Swept away on the whims of the breeze
Two bodies scrambled in a static-like array
Intertwined
Though diffusing
Now as one
Yet something less

The turgid waters move along, marbled with brown mud, flowing downstream
Her body thrown between the rocks and the roots of elder trees, snagging beneath
She left behind the ones she knew, and I'm not sure she regrets a thing
Just another piece of human detritus and debris, washed out to sea

Life is the sum of the functions by which death is resisted
Surviving through it all, yet never quite sure why

Atelectasis
06:46
|
|||
|
Clear the atelectasis
Beat the drum to breaking, pounding rhythms
Paralyzed alveoli
Pleading for nourishing air to sate their reaching grasp
Suffering in light blue eyes
Tiny fingers gripping mine
Helpless as I hold your hand
I just want to breathe for you

Gilded Crown
04:24
|
|||
|
The gilded crown of the puppet king
Lies crooked on his furrowed brow
His charmed life unraveling
While masters tug on fraying strings
Black envelopes hold all he's done
Littered 'cross his antique desk
Threats to dig up skeletons
Maintain compliance to the hidden ones
