Oh
how your black dress hugs your skin
hiding layers deep within.
Bet your big bones trap the
monster who's given in.
I'm not where I ought to be
in a dark toy factory.
All these puppets and
strings and dead batteries.
Drown yourself in the waters so green. You won't have to see the flesh and bones who breathe once more only to settle the score. Grab a drink while my knees bend in half and these monsters laugh.
Hair, teeth,
nails, and bone move on their own
with breath...
breath from your own lungs.
My lungs have collapsed.
These monsters now attack.
Drowning me with agony but
be damn sure that I'll fight back.
Drown yourself in the waters so green. You don't have to see the flesh and bones who breathe once more only to settle the score. Grab a drink while my knees bend in half and these monsters laugh.
A boy of eight climbs into bed
to ask his mother why the dead
would want to hurt such innocence,
a fragile being, a gentle prince.
They only live again because of her.
So now he writes this lullaby
with her in mind;
her face, her spine.
And all the toys who mocked him there
and that green sink filled with her hair
and now they live forever in his head.
She will sink her head again.
You think you've got me caught?
I think not.
