Plastic faces, windowpanes
Frozen phrases hang in cold air rolling rigid, staid
A melody black and molded music box clockwork
Notes rot, souls shed, stasis radiation cages cardiac clack-clack
Plaid skirt grips shirt tails
Die into us
Die into us
In this house, there’s no turning now
I reap deep of the life you sow
Rows in static gnostic sleep
Under mystic, mourning starlight’s creep
Their dreamless eyes, now knowing do you realize
What lies beneath unending stairway mouths of hell,
Their torn tongues rise:
Die into us
Die into us
Lips like shreds nailed to the head
Winding iris under closed eyelids
No way to take your life back into your hands
Hang lifeless on the strings of a new master’s command
Die into us
Die into us
No fear for the future you have left behind
Perfect sutures lined across your mind
Their dreamless eyes, now knowing do you realize
What lies beneath unending stairway mouths of hell
Their torn tongues rise:
Die!
