Reel

Listen —
There is no use in trying to explain.
Listen —
Is it your fault she made those cuts again?
To let out blood she thought had made her bad?
Or maybe just to cut you out instead?
Keep your head.
Cauterize,
Wounds you hide.
Burn them clean;
Show no way inside.
Listen —
The sound is down now you should hear yourself,
shouting from the bottom of a well.
Attempts repeated infinitely feel,
useless now.
Cauterize,
Wounds you hide.
Burn them clean;
Show no way inside.
Reel on a repeating loop.
Reel on a repeating loop.
Listen!
Listen!
Listen!
Cauterize,
Wounds you hide.
Burn them clean;
Show no way inside
