Poly Fortitude
Poly Fortitude
I am familiar with every sense of the word
Each rope cut
Each slit sewn shut
But the moon was purple tonight
The masked man came back
I know that he is always nearby
Singing his tune
I shall sing too
What do you think about leaving everyone we’ve ever known?
I am here to let you go
We can leave anytime just let me know
I know your feelings and I’ll make them alright
Pull me closer, but your skin is so tight
When will you open the door
The tappings my dear,
They happen every night
Doomed since the moment you were born
The angels sing each to each but they will never sing to thee
Pull and tug
Make your skin scream
Let me touch the wallows
Tear them farther
Let me swallow
The light will follow
A brain can only take so many cuts
Before that cloaked angel crawls
The pull of a screw
The red ribbons seeping through
Poly Fortitude
But the static, so loud
The words they are not sinking in
I cannot feel your loving touch
My skin is cold
My skin is blue
A mark upon the altar
Tree Roots swept under the psalter
Teeth scrape down my throat
I won’t need them anymore
Not when I have my undercoat
Whisper whisper, my roaring child
The clotting hole, the maggots chew
But the sweet nothings, once alone,
Cannot cling on, pursuing the wound
Scraping fingernails can no longer hold back the fight
For the moon is purple tonight
Flutter flutter
Suck Suck Suck
Your friends they all sing along
Oh how warm your room feels upon my palms
Oh how warm your room feels upon my palms
