A five arm fire burns inside me.
Smoke billows from my mouth,
stinging my eyes to tears of mercury.
I'm coughing ash all over myself
when I see in the distance, a child drowning in a lake.
I pray the lamb won't be saved for I envy its watery grave.

Her spectral hand passes through my chest.
My blood's thinning the further she penetrates.
I hang from her arm like a dead flag
As she lays me into sour earth
And my eyes go opaque as she descends on my face
Gorging on her perennial,
I smile for I know I'm not hers
Someone else, long ago, had her
barbed claws hooked in my brain

Everything is spinning
Like I'm trapped on a carousel from hell
All faces smearing across my doomed horizon
Dopesick off gold while the vultures pure my rewards
Depleted, I lay as silence washes over me
No more silence now, just waves of this droning music
It sounds like 1,000 souls evacuating 1,000 bodies
over and over and over
This is my palace
This is my crypt
This is my palace and my crypt
This is what I deserve

Sores like rotting lips coat your corridor walls
All internal so your victims never see it coming
I love how my lies hook you right through the cheeks
So your eyes will never leave mine
Before your plagues, we had one night together
A trial of limbs contorting
Rot
Rot, my sweet compost heap
With her legs, wishboned

I could stargaze from this womb forever
But my transparent host must feed her growing void with a sacrafice
Strip search this vessel and tear me from her hull
This cord, a shackle passing life between us,
will now serve me as my noose of flesh
All voids will never be satisfied
I will prove this my entrance as I'm cast into this world with breathless lungs
Looking ever so blue,
so blue like an unbroken vein.

Your blackened nails
Is that dirt or dead flesh under them?
So willing to find out as you beckon me from beneath the floorboards
Is that you?
The smoke slithering through the cracks?
The sensuous dance of vapors, now solidifying
A web of dyed red hair above eyes glowing nuclear green
All I hear is your cackle as my knees buckle back
Behold, my love!
We're levitating now
I swim past the sparks propelling from your grinding jaws
But I can't touch you through this binary code
So close yet so fucking gone

I'm watching you all ascend
Each wrapped in shrouds of self entitlement
I'm left here breathing in this dust from all your horns that you filed down
Did you forget that they grow back?
Eloquence, permanence
All bred from ignorance
But you'll find that out soon enough
Past the clearing, what awaits you is not the kingdom you thought
Even your children will be unblessed from the marrow out.
You burn
Raining on the world
I dance in the ashes of your failure.
