I woke in rust
Lips full of thread
Swallowed stars
They burned instead

She sang me slow
In cradle of nails
Every hum
Tore my veil

Needles bloom
Inside my grin
I loved the filth
Where I had been

Taste the bile
From silver vows
Kiss the mirror
It won't bow

I break where I bend
Skin that forgets
Dreams rot in jars
Truth never rests

Carve it again
Right in my chest
Nothing feels wrong
When you've confessed

(I never left)
(I just stood still)

Fed the ache
Till it grew eyes
Watched me sleep
And fed me lies

Tied my smile
To the rail
Prayed to bleed
But only failed

She said
You don't need to die
To disappear
And I did
Slowly
In rooms that never forget
In teeth that won't forgive

I break where I bend
Skin that forgets
Dreams rot in jars
Truth never rests

Carve it again
Right in my chest
Nothing feels wrong
When you've confessed

Lay me down
Where the nails sing
Kiss my bones
Like a broken king

You made me
Now bury me
