Haunted Lullabies
(based on some continuous dreams)
Ghosts spin over my head
They come down on me in my bed
Their marks have been made
They look for me when I'm feeling dead
They're twisting this into something haunted
Ghosts are cold, they give me a chill
Spiderwebs and pictures of prisons
Fly through this picturesque scene
I try to resolve it consider it a thrill
Before I shut my head they sleep by me
I try to leave this chain behind
But it keeps dragging me back
And under the ground, I climb
Up in this haunted intersect
So careful not to wake them
Looking through those pastel eyes
For someone who looks for me
Someone to reveal their secrets
on their split up screens we go down
The subway screeches to a halt
And all I know is it could be my fault
So I run through the shadows
Hearing the liquid water drip
From pipes in the walls, I accept only hints
The scene stretches out before me
Glamorous people all dressed
In their glimmer and glitter
Soaked in the kind of gutters
Where rats learn to procreate
With their mothers
Now we know we're just numbers to them
my time is lost in that circular confusion
I wonder how the skeletal people see
In their pale haze it's the second phase
In the dream I created
Suddenly I'm painted in squares
they operate on me, but they can't be killed
Because they do not care
I am no longer there
I've gotta break it, before it all goes viral
From the shit-box, Knock out the bars
Gotta get outta here
Being swallowed by stars
Out into the spaces in between
To gain momentum here where
I'm pacing and pacing
Looking for a lever, pull me up
He's pushing me under
What a friend to think he's a lover
Push him down and climb
Over the body bags
No slave to this rag-a-tag
This is when I take my last drag
This smoke makes me cool
It fills me up I like to be cruel
I wash my face with mascara
And burn my eyes in fire
This is my obsession
In the obscene
I am your queen
Take this from me, I say
Knowing he has every tool
To turn me cold and blood-red
He runs his fingers down my jagged spine
but I cannot feel
Grabbing his arms
I struggle to gain composure
The rapist shadow
Sucks me in like a demon
I get so much higher when you hold me
And I turn you away
Myself twisted and slipping
Looking for something blue
Let's be a little friendlier maybe
You laugh and spit out smiles
Is this how far we've come
To give it all and then take some more
I want to kill you like they do in the movies
Because why be so dear in here
Let me rise to my darkest powers
Kiss me once, I'm warm and crimson
You ask for love and you get my knife
You cry from your perfect suspension
You must've been forgiven by what
You despise, coat your God in poison
no matter what they do to us
tell me these are all my lies
no matter what they'll do to me
no matter how I will learn to rise
The tears start to pour from his eyes
Cried from all their broken dreams
and haunted lullabies
don't be afraid he says, you're not a slave
You should never have behaved he said
And now it is your time to die
as I gather up my swords
For breaking their corporeal designs
and I'll kill for what it's worth
