I swallow glass to keep it inside

Blood floods my tongue like bitter wine

Violence blooms in my head

Flowers feast on the wounds I've bled a thousand times

Salt runs deep beneath

My skin will never feel

The warmth of a swarm of knives

That lay me to rest

Bleed the marrow dry

Tear the silence open

Drain the sky of light

Let the shadows soak in

Let the heavens choke then

Let me vomit every secret, I've been forced to choke

The sky splits open, bleeding out its moons

Rip the calm from my skin

Like rotting flesh, and paint the walls with the silence I've suppressed

I've suppressed

Salt runs deep beneath

My skin will never feel

The warmth of a swarm of knives

That lay me to rest

Blood carves lines in me

My lungs will never breathe

The air of a hollow sky

Where shadows come to die

Violence blooms in my head

There is nothing left to feel

Severence
