bounty

slipping in and out of silence
the words that form are empty and so softly spoken
like a poison laced with sweet perfume, they fill the void inside this tomb
I can not breathe, I can not see, but I hear you in the distance
are you calling to me or are you calling me out?
what exactly is this acidic lullaby about?
I fought the demons in the fog to bring us into existence
their lies kept me falling back, but your voice held me like a harness
pulled me high above the shadows
and now the shadows are the least I fear
resistance is my biggest strength, but how am I so spineless?
barricading the organ beneath my flesh
my greatest weakness lays inches inside my chest
