Flies crawling through your hair
Limbs disappearing into the air
Following all your paranoid
Catechisms, slipping through the void.
Body's humming with things gone
The figurative dropping of the bombs
Strained eyes searching through the haze
Hiding light and darker days.
Lying, covered in the corner
Why didn't anyone warn her?
The ground is smoldering, scenery is maimed
Destruction will never want to change.
And all your skin's stretched static and tight,
The little one's screaming, trapped inside.
