II; DEATH

(WE'RE ALL BORN ALONE, WE ALL DIE ALONE.)


ANGER.


IT FUELS MY VEINS, BURIES ITSELF IN MY TONGUE

I SPEAK- OR TRY TO- BUT LIFE IS AS DEATH IS

A CIRCLE, A WHOLE.

A QUIET PLACE FOR THINKING

WHAT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME


DEATH IS CRUEL AND UNFAIR AND IT

BURNS MY LIMBS

LIKE A WILDFIRE SPREADING

THROUGH THE WOODS

OF MY HEART


I CLENCH MY FISTS

LIKE I NEVER DID

AND I DRAIN MY BLOOD

ONTO THE FLOOR


I POUR MY SOUL OUT

AND EMPTY MY EYE SOCKETS

FOR I WILL NOT NEED THEM

IN THIS RAGE

I'M FEELING.


I DISSOLVE

INTO THE FLOOR

AND I SCREAM.

I SCREAM LIKE I NEVER GOT TO

WHEN I WAS ME


WHEN I WAS STUCK

IN A CIRCLE

GOING ROUND

AND ROUND

(AND ROUND

AND ROUND 

AND)


(DEATH IS A QUIET PLACE FOR THINKING)

SO I SCREAM AGAIN.


CLAUSTROPHOBIC MEMORIES IN A CLAUSTROPHOBIC SHELL OF

REGRETS AND

ANGER


I CAN'T STAND TO THE SIDE AS I ALWAYS DO IF

ALGAE WRAPS ITSELF AROUND MY LEGS

AROUND MY LUNGS.


I STUMBLE BACK AGAINST THE WAVES

THAT TRY TO DROWN ME

AND DEATH SITS NEXT TO ME

ONE LAST TIME


I REPLAY IT IN MY HEAD

FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY

THAT I'M MEANT TO BE STUCK IN


I DID EVERYTHING I SHOULD

SO WHY



NO ONE LIVES FOREVER.
