INFILTRATOR



I'm a stranger in my brain
I'm a stranger in your life
Send me back in time
To before we met
I was content with myself
I had it all mapped out
Before the continental shelf
Before the tsunami and the following drought
I hate how you make me feel
I fear being helpless
Trapped in my own mind
Being a spectator in my own life
Return the keys to the back of my mind now
I'll count to three and if you don't free me from this dream...I'll jump
I'm banging on the door but you won't let me out
Ignoring my kicking and shouting
I'm losing my grip and I feel it
Zombified neurons slipping from my grasp
One by one and it's out of my control
As I'm helplessly approaching the event horizon of a black hole
I feel its pull
I smell the dark
But it's too strong
I'm concious as my body is viciously torn apart and absorbed
I'm just another throphy
Another thing it has conquered
My heart ripped out of my chest
Leaving the hollow husk they call a body
It's beating in your hand
And you squeeze
You dig your nails into my flesh
You rip and tear with my eyes being the only thing you spare
So i can watch you do it
And I can't stop you
Maybe it's the lack of limbs
Mayble it's the lack of will
When just looking at you gives me chills
