I wrap myself   Back into this   Sense of familiar   Nothingness but me      Back to something   So secure   I know will always be waiting      I could never   Hope to stop this, it   Feels and breathes and   Pulsates as it's own      If you should hear   A shuffling   Beneath the mine,   Late beyond the night      Please don't come inside   You should probably knock,   The waterline is rising      And you and I   Don't want anyone   To be there when the tide rolls over the shore      Save you from the memory   Of what you could never explain   Or even know for sure      Finally   Embracing what I have   For I am now alone      Clench my fist   And do what must   Be done because of   What I've become      Natural   As an animal   Closing in for the kill      And now I wonder   Would I resist   If I could by my own will   I'll never know   I'll never know      I twitch as I   Approach the end,   Never as bright as   It sometimes seems      And I   Never knew   I could feel such hate   For someone I don't know      And it's an empty room   The blood tide's rising   I can't pour it back inside      It's here   For me to smell and fear,   For I know that I'll be here again      I'll take my time   And wait to see   If it's now   Warm outside again      For what we cannot feel   Will illude us   And what we expect   Might very well be the end
