Red-Eyes B. Yeti (feat. deviin)

Her hymn it lingers

Impassioned ears may heed the scripture

Born into this

I pray that I may exit this body and burn through another

For we’re born lost

Maroon paint strokes fade the lost name

I know in time they’ll forget the words that they wrote for me

Under your fingernails, I spelled a moniker not easy to remember

Wrapped in plastic meant for me

You’re still a monument to burned out wicks and candle wax

Spilling from the glass

Pure erasure

Somber as it is sentimental

There’s no division in a body for which the soul has pure chemistry

I was promised stone, such as granite, to lay eternally upon

But here I lay mute, draped in glass not solid nor shattered

Though my hair lived saturated in warm golden rays of sun

She now sits meticulously preserved

Above cold darkened boards of wood

I know in time they’ll forget the words that they wrote for me

Under your fingernails, I spelled a moniker not easy to remember

Tarnished canvas by paint so thin

The work pressed to my eyes

Tarnished canvas by paint so thin

The work pressed to my eyes

(Now I can’t unsee it)

Red reflects off those ruby eyes

In my mirror, they look dimmer

This curse I wake with, I sleep with

The taste of lavender

Boiling, it melts my tongue
