There was courage in the kitchen On the bottle shelf of the pantry Another bandage for my broken will And my window, like a picture frame Exposes footprints in the snow That pave a road back to your hollow home I noted everything you'd say Every question and every phrase Embedded in my brain To keep me from going insane You would think I'd be frank when I thanked all my demons For making the seasons feel less about Leaving myself in a bend once again Kiss the leaves on the trees for allowing my body to breathe Then you found me, lying, waiting In a pitch black cloak of night Within a bedroom I still wasn't used to yet And then you cast some sacred spell on me You summoned black holes around your eyes Designed to pull me into them I hope this is the end Wasteland, eternally elated Happenstance, common cultist, wear your hand Eight toppled trashcans like smoking guns Bow down beneath a burning Sun Then vanish, vampire, for once for good
