"when the fallout comes he is fire"
- neurosis "through silver in blood"
a. your savior's my guillotine
locked
in this invisible cell
watched pointlessly
as it was built
stone by stone
until almost out of air
don't close me in
my muffled voice screaming
out from the void
none to listen nor care
it mattered not for me
to be stuck in here
as long as you weren't
and thus trapped
accustomed to the cell
i didn't allow myself to see
outside until it almost was...
b. crosses and kerosene
too late
in this self held prison
staring furiously
as i search for cracks
piece by piece
until almost out of there
don't run from me
my unheard voice crying
out for something
none to have or give
it mattered not for me
to be stuck in there
as long as i'm here
and thus victorious
accustomed to what i was?
i didn't allow myself to see
outside until i was.
c. fear is your only god
hello.
i am here.
back from the darkside
right into the darkerside
and coming right for you
just when you thought
it was safe
and i was safe as safe could be
the walls came down
stone by stone
slow burn deconstruction
as they fly speeding
through your glass houses
and not a pane broken
why, you may ask,
do i not do unto you
for what's been done to me?
fear is your only god.
start praying.
