take these words and choke them down
cull your thoughts, you've been found out
scratched onto the back of my eye
these things that wait without a sound
my head hits the ceiling when I break into freedom
it's off, it's over - you won
I spoke up
too many words were said
look at you
bruised and left for dead
I fell in place
under a waxing moon
arms held out
knee deep in photographs
come back - slow drag
you're breaking my bones and bending my bones back
my name is on your lips
my conscience is wearing thin
your gown slips above my head
I pray like a leaden monk
I can't stay away, no
I'm on the wire and slipping fast
the pallid lion blocks the pass
and I mark my heart with eroded tongue
your ghost locked in the coffer is moaning "it's just begun"
