The Way You Say My Name

Absent hunger
Absent dreaming
Absent love
Absent laughter
Absent terror
Deaf & dumb

In the morning I'll be sick
I don't have a choice
Will myself to rise again
At the sound of your voice

They say you might go
A lifetime without knowing the
Demon feeding on a child's
Claustrophobia

Bury me, my dear
In the way you say my name
