or; spitting teddy grahams all over the place
Leaves of azure brush my lips
Clock is ticking back the time
Flakes of ashes cover me
Reason wavers through the rhyme
Luminescence frightens me
I feel safer in the dark
First my skin begins to sting
This pain leaves its wicked mark
First the light devours my eyes
It burns deep into my soul
My heart palpitates again
I'm consumed, I'm burning whole
I've become a phantom, flayed
Like a creature in the light
Darkness dissipates, divides
In the face of failing night
Will you leave me in this place?
Will you let me wither still?
Will you leave me in this place?
Will you let me falter still?
