STILL WATER SALVATION

Serrated blades pressing down into my face
Sliding behind my teeth to the back of my tongue
This veil of guilt is replaced by a copper taste
The ache will end and my imprint will soon be forgotten

Stillborn into this abysmal existence
Embalmed with a burden of internal hate
Feed me to a cavernous hole in the ground
Unmarked, I don't want to be found

Blisters form in my palm
Fetishizing the rope

Violet legs hover above the stillwater
Skin torn across my throat
Fantasizing the choke
Transcending natural instinct

Breathing easy
A hose that seals the exhaust
Consciousness fleeting
Inhale and feel what I've wrought
The fumes in my lungs, slowly fill
Burn and rot the inside
Serpents ingest the kill

Corroded arteries, sick no more
Rusting apart from me, sick no more
Enamel marred by the earth
Steel teeth slide through the tongue
My bones compressed by the dirt
Nature chews on my organs
One by one

Heaven is cold and empty
Closed casket for me
Don't mourn the hole in your chest
Be thankful to bleed
Salvation laughs in the face of a grieving mother
Swallowed by the snarling jaws of despair

Nothing's as sweet as the taste of my skull decaying
I got what I want, don't waste your breath praying
Sick no more

Breathing easy
A hose that seals the exhaust
Consciousness fleeting
Inhale and feel what I've wrought
The fumes in my lungs, slowly fill
Burn and rot the inside
As I'm consumed by the serpent

Swallow me
And repeat the cycle
The viper gnaws at my constricted limbs
The failure wins as my ending begins
Repeat the cycle
Just let it end
