This will end in blood Only these bones can stem this flood These quiet walls descend into a restless Earth And build for me this shallow tomb An empty bed; I toss and turn in tangled sheets Keep me locked inside my head I awoke With nothing more than blood and bones I've been dying to take this And cut it to pieces I can't fight this feeling any longer It constantly haunts me And I can't sleep at night I don't ever want to close my eyes Who knows what hides within the corners of this space All the hurt I can't erase And in my dreams My teeth fall out The silence of this room is deafening I long to scream out loud but always forget to breathe My pulse; it pushes and pulls While my heart is skipping beats again My bones; a prison and a home And I've never owned the key The night gets cold My eyes grow tired and old And I fall Like my empty glass of Aperol And I'll never sleep at night I'll never want to close my eyes I'll dig another hole Bury these bones
