Your Fractured Kin

Standing on the stairwell
I see nothing but mist
Calling you out

All these words are crashing
...right down into the mix
A complex creeping

A strange exclusion occurs
One for the ages
When all the voices concurred
They sang this melody

Beneath a castle of screams, cuts and walls
A letter was found, it went
I was born, someone lied
(And I grew up believing those beautiful lies)
I was torn and fractured at once
(Into pieces that dreamt of escaping at night)

At the end of that story I was never found

In a box with dry tears falling down

In a void could be found the thoughts of a dying man

Fingers felt a crossing
Crawling onto the keys
That open a box

Your gaze burns all of my words
My austere path to leave

This will be the last voice you hear
Rest now my child
I've nothing to stand

Thoughts are fighting over control
(Fighting, fighting, fighting)
It's unforthcoming, trying to walk
(Drowning, drowning, drowning)

Waiting in the airlock
They're returning to me
And I just lie down

(A strange exclusion occurs)
Thoughts becoming nothing but dust
(One for the ages)
That makes your palms dirty
(When all the voices concurred)
It's unbecoming, climbing your walls
(They sang this melody)
It's breaking in!
