Darkening Days
Location
Pain comes in wallows
so follow with the swallows
I breathe this fire down your back and take you to the gallows,
forget you must, not love but lust
and all the roads you used to trust
a bloody knife still in your hand
you tracked him down
you found your man
Through the door you busted wide
vomiting your sense of pride
you stabbed and rived, you let it bleed,
and in His eyes, done a good deed.
Wake and eat you hungry child
bodies upon bodies piled
high enough to reach the stars,
but you pull back and feed your scars
blisters gaping, bruises shaping
look at all the mess your making.
Your smile now it grows much wider,
and in your mind you preach the choir,
insides turning, stomach lurching,
in your heart a fire burning,
sick with ashes from your greed
cmon make your fingers bleed
slowly drifting into madness,
on your face you show no sadness,
screams will keep you safe and warm
inside the bodies you have torn.
