S o you let the poison fall from your lips,

E xuding toxic streams of breath.

C lear them away, or their hearts you'll rip.

L ips leaking red pain, not colourless death,

U nderstanding it's worse that way,

D ead men cannot hear what you have to say.

E xhale after exhale and barbed words to drip,

D rive them away, titanic relationship.


A nd as for the regret? (Is there regret?)

N eeds that you bury? (Concrete not yet set?)

D erived of emotion? (Or just trying to forget?)


A lone is safe, no fear for another's trap.

F ear can be stifled and hidden away.

R eally though, there's a factor you didn't cap,

A rmour shrouding you from day to day.

I t doesn't protect your from your own blade,

D oes, however, stop you from receiving aid.
