I'll make people into prisons
Yes I will
Yes I can

I'll always start with voices and I'll start with a young man

His is the echoes roaming
Turrets and watchtowers

And I'll use his skin for shadows
To stand guard in the late hours

I'll use his blood for wires
For veins of electric light

I'll use his lungs for chimneys
Screaming smoke into the night

And all the howling inmates!
The convicts and the dead

Will be the little demons ravaging his head.

His skull will hold them soundly
Though they scratch and dig and call

His skull will be the nutshell
Will be the outer wall.

I can board up his eyes
So none can peek on through

He'll make a lovely prison
And then I'll turn to you.
