Steel chains holding back my tongue
My lips are sealed like fucking concrete
My heart inside my chest
Is screaming yelling crying trying
To express the pleas of a hurting brain
The tears on my cheek
Make a piercing noise
As they crash on this white paper
It's a goddamned black parade
Where hands shake to the rythm of
Invisible dying breaths that are retelling
History's darkest years and describing
This night's starless sky;
It's a goddamned tribute
My whole body and mind pay
To something so unknown to me,
But so clear to them;
Are we mourning those last minutes,
Hours, months?
Are we mourning the faded sun?
Why am I coughing black smoke,
Is my heart burning in wildfires?
I've already inhaled the Earth's oxygen
But my lungs turn it to
Black confettis instead, that they blow
Over an anonymous person's coffin;
Oh! You filthy dark monsters,
Take your rotten hands off my eyes
Let me escape this madness
Let me climb up this pitch black hole
I want to see the light.
