Anna's Culling

You wake up in the morning trapped in your room
A joyful smile, forced against the gloom
The ghostly heirlooms floating up and down the house
Smiling eyes sucking you dry like the louse

Lock away all the darkness that dwells
When all your life's a perpetual fall
People 'round the table conguatulate themselves
Better feel nothing than anything at all

Why do you frown, when what we want is best?
Take your medicine, allow yourself to rest
Whatever you experince is in your head
Would you have rathered to be peniless instead?

Was the love we
Gave you
Never enough?

Can you not see?
That you're killing us

Will you ever be
Thankful?
It's never enough

Can you not see?
There's nothing to discuss

Ever since my first breath
I've been screaming at a wall
You could look right into death
And you'd see nothing at

All will fail you in due time
Do not drag me in the grime

Have we never listened
To your
Childish problems?

Have you no intention
To be mature?

You stay in your frisson
Distant
Where did we go wrong?

Have you no ambition
To be your cure?

Ever since my first breath
I've been screaming at a wall
You could look right into death
And you'd see nothing at

All will fail you in due time
Do not drag me in the fight

Today you'll have your answer
A blindness you can't fathom
Serving lies with such candour
A curse on every atom

I won't go down without a fight
Both me and you know what is right
With every beat one hair falls down
Till you can finally fit my crown

Take the pill!

Sitting listless in your bed
Poison waters in your head
What sad bewilderment had brought
Your mind deserted of all thought
The idiot herd painting their sheep
Trying to put the black to sleep
If they can't see tears on your eyes
Well they'll paint smiles in their disguise
If you can't ever move on through
Well they will make the move for you
It's easier for when you fall
That you can feel nothing at all
Sitting right outside my grasp
Love lets out one final gasp
If they can't see tears in your eyes
Well there is nothing wrong with you!

Do my eyes deceive me?
Are the tides retreating?

No!

The years the darkness growing
The blinded, the unknowing!

Never!

Abandon your own center
And leave me in to fester

I!

Will never go away
Till you confront me in
Your reflection
