younger me
am I still what you thought I'd be?
your beacon of hope exiled
among the solitary
you know I tried
this skin has scars
youth, can you see?
this storm is drowning me
so older me
baptise me in that sea
let the darkness flow through me
lock me up in her vacancy
engrave the date on the door
and please don’t vomit the key
leave my ghosts to roam free
orphans dancing around a tree
drawing tanks under a smiling sun
"just scream on us
we’ll blindly follow,
the cliff just never looks to high
you can’t break the hollow"
