Biting Back the Songbird
Biting Back the Songbird
By: Innerchild
Everything's breaking down,
as i breathe in the very
smoke i want to escape.
No one's calling my name,
they've all left me now.
The hours pass slowly by,
taking one more grain of sand from my mind.
And as it empties, i can see those painted faces breaking away from my memories
like the crumbling of a mountain wall.
And our masks hold strong now,
they only crumble away when we enter the universal blackness,
revealing the darkened facade of loneliness.
The four walls of my room look foreign now as i bite back the songbird...
weeping voices now dense to my ears...
sound of music now glaring bright...
The stinging cold of the institute is no longer welcome against my skin as the droning of the beast next door keeps me awake,
threatening to break down the closed door of the white stained room
Pure
Tarnished
Whole
Pieces
Walking in the point of view of another person on the piece of straight curled metal,
watching swirls of smoke being blown from your finger tips,
seeing the creatures in the clouds break away to reveal the colorless sun
There are no more doors to break down as they've all been melted down into the frames.
Honey no longer drips from our mouths as the ice freezes it to our tongues
Our empires are built out of black boxes that hold things better left buried,
while our bodies screech of glass, begging to blown and shaped away
Walking in circles where words are as sharp as a sword, making every turn a deadly stop.
The blade of words whisper condescending words into my ear as i pass by.
Throwing hands over my ears, i scream for you not to come near!
Yell at you for your lies!
Cry out for you to listen to my voice and not just watch my lips move!
Shrieking like a banshee for you to be gone from the world, and take your reeking beast with you.
Why can't my voice rise any louder, when i know i'm screaming so loud that my throat hurts and my eyes tear... why can't you hear me...
Why do i have to hold back the songbird?
