Lyrics Reeking Within - Fetid

Reeking Within

Deep inside the ribs the scraping pierces
Bouncing off of reflections lost
Shadows in the mist
Delve ever deeper
Echoing through you…
Clenching tightly to intestinal walls
Sinuous paths
Shrieking calls
Building presence
The haunting
Fills your eyes
As you see…
Pouring out
A blood stream
Of self doubt
A waking dream
Of pure loss
Under the cross
In the cemetery
Thick with fog
The face peering
From beyond
The gravestone
Near the pond
Where the souls
Seek sleep
It speaks loud
And clear…
With a voice
You can’t hear
Feel its breath
Feel your fear
All this time
Inside you
Another half
Split in two
Flowing through the skin
Lymph to limbs
Strung all throughout
It waits within
As you lay your body in the grass
The graves speak of a past
Of one you never knew
Of one without you
Just as it will be
Once this night is through
Focus shifting back
To the scraping sound
The time seeps in
To the hole you dig below
The dirt piles
In around
You’re engulfed
No sound
No sight
To be seen
Now awake from
This horrid dream
Feel its breath
Feel your fear
The time is now
They are here
You know how
So close your eyes
Speak the words
Then die…
