Scraping Away at the Edges of Darkness With Fire

A fractured heart beats
In an iron ribcage
Inside myself, beside myself
I won’t obey

Bloated limbs and snaking entrails
Ice blue hair in the red light

To reckon this horror
This glass that reflects me
O how we’ve fallen
Far from the arms of god

Mankind fears the darkness
So he scrapes away at the edges of it with fire
Revealing this

I cannot
I will not

I am not yours
I am not
I am
I am more
I am more than
I am more than this

“I must go now”
“This is goodbye”

Born alone
Reared isolatе
I will leave this world
In my wake, dеsolate
