| There is no foothold here in these miry depths
|
| Clawed fingers scraping flesh from bone
|
| Frantic laughter bubbling throughout
|
| Voice strained from screaming, parched and shrill
|
| With each breath comes an influx of my waste
|
| Beasts sovereign, circling, searching for their feast
|
| Their mouths foaming, sensing blood in the dirty water
|
| Its the primal craving which prevails disgust
|
| But how did I get here?
|
| The first of oh so many questions
|
| Delayed are the angels melodies, ensnared in this bog
|
| But this place is familiar
|
| The sites, the sounds, the face of the beast
|
| Breathing mirrors reflecting me, I share in their needs
|
| The absence of love, abundance of filth
|
| Left to consider the familiarity of my despair
|
| Deprived innocence, I am deserving of this place
|
| Entitlement, I have what I’ve chosen
|
| The virgin weeping, blackened eyes dripping contempt
|
| Actions and disgraces, I have many faces here
|
| The frowning masks of the tragedy, many faces here
|
| With one final glare my head slips under the mud
|
| I reach, still finding nothing
|
| Which I can grab to reach the surface again
|
| Dimming into dark is the heart that fades away
|
| I sink into the darkest deep
|
| Finally I give in to the hands touch
|
| Embracing what they say
|
| I submit to the nightmare of the mire
|
| Finding solace in the choice to fall into breathing
|
| Depths, depths, depths
|
| There is no foothold here in these miry depths
|
| Clawed fingers scraping flesh from bone
|
| Frantic laughter bubbling throughout
|
| Voice strained from screaming, parched and shrill |
