Spit slides like sludge from the lips   Mumbling the lost words of a Fall grievance   I can barely speak to you with purple lips and a cracked smile   Ripped apart in unequaled confusion   Always sewing my stability back together with the thinnest of twine   Rip and sew   Rip and sew   Rip and sew   Put me back together   Rip and sew   Rip and sew   Rip and sew   Put me back together   Split apart at all the vital seams   And the tears that seep from my eyes drip and mix with blood and ink   Blood, tears, and ink in a pirouette of mayhem and tranquillity   It's a whitewash of emotion   Sweat kisses my tongue and I know that I'm still real   I know that I'm still alive with myself   I yell out your name and choke frothing deprivation   The nourishment of loss   Asleep with asleep   Creeping, inching, crawling across the floor toward the gate   'cause that's where the flowers bloom and wilt   Roses laced with blood and drool   Watching the pigment drain away from petals clung to my body   Angelic and sweet   I'm losing feeling   Raking open my chest with thorns   Shed back the skin   Exposed to he elements   Frigid cold violent dedication   A human desecration
