Snow Cannibal

Lose the ceiling drop the kids fear of numbers fear of skin
Lose my control, lose my face, frightened creatures in my head

Dressed in all shades of blue
Cross hatched and doublecrossed
Branded, streets of snow
Black sky, my ceiling
To the world it might not be much
The streets untouched, this world's enough

Fixed to a flame outside
The bishops scream in tongues
Calm witches dressed in black
Three words and then they're gone

My ears are failing
My eyes are draining
Snow freckles fading
Snow freckles failing
That night i dreamt of twelve-legged monsters

Speaking words to make them feel some sense of worth
Slice out your poisoned tongue
Forgo your faulted sons
Shit festered vale I haunt
It's storming each night i dream
Caged in your bloodied hands
Softly tucked into bed

I want out
Let me out

They're scared I'll wake and see their faces
Friends, lovers, sunburnt, children and freaks
They bred a monster, cannibalizing on my own flesh, my own blood on my teeth

But to the world outside
That joy is not my own
I breathe and feel in blue
I speak so I am God.
My thoughts aren't filling
Woodrot in my trees
snow freckles fading
snow freckles draining
speaker of the word
who got away clean
I pray your lungs fail
I pray your heart stops

The storm's not mine,
just Leftover broken tributes
They'll never look in my eyes
Won't let me have a face
My thoughts are sludged
Tied into place with broken strings
Worship the astral moon
Cannibalize my eyes

I want out
Let me out
