A temple.
Corroded.
Eviction
Pending.
Embrace me,
Cold nights,
Gray sky,
Streetlight.
A lyrical
Descension.
Attention
Fading.
Breathless, I'm a mess.
Kiss the sky in distress.

I'm barely breathing.
This crowning anguish,
looked up, nervous reflex.
I've got to build up from the inside.

A relapse.
Reflection.
Distorted.
Repression.
Smiling spitefully.
Longing for you to sew up my seams.

I'm barely breathing.

I've abandoned old identities,
Skin I couldn't fit into,
Songs I couldn't write,
My voice will fade into this starless night.

Can I get much blinder?
Can i kick myself much harder?
Have I accepted this,
To torture myself?
You can't see me.
Have i invented you?
I'm barely breathing.
