Possessor

Possessor!

I waste and want and crave

Still holding you at bay

A wounded animal

A Hell where love has failed

I learnt its name

A tomb unsealed

Burnt the remains

But I can't

Sleep through the night

Whispers cut like knives

What hasn't lived can never die

You've wormed your way inside me

Sever the tether

Skull from the spine

Make wings of your lungs

And touch the divine

You're always with me

Hidden in blood

Cheat death, hold your breath

And dive into the flood

What choice did I have?

The rot is setting in

I'm in the palm of your undead hand

I'm losing teeth

To match your smile

Broke every glass

But I can't

See through the haze

Born of smokeless flame

While I live, I cannot grieve

What will I be when you leave?

Sever the tether

Skull from the spine

Make wings of your lungs

And touch the divine

You're always with me

Hidden in blood

Cheat death, hold your breath

And dive into the flood

There's a dagger in my mind

In dreams I exorcise

Burn alive this phantom of old night

No God could love you

One whisper could freeze

The heart on my sleeve

There was pain in your eyes

But I gave you enough

I gave you enough
