Night Pierces My Bones

So fragile, the walls cave in There is no relief My haven remains no more A premonition of a waking hell The shades emerge in contortion Affixed upon their broken frame Writhing across the walls My body benumbed where I lay The terror of the night engulfs The terror of the night engulfs Until the soil takes me I dream in crystalline A false reality Is bound to shatter It tightens its hold on me My eyes begin to shut The only salvation Disconnect in wistful ignorance As the ache sets in The seed of dread is sewn Spreading within my chest Night pierces my bones And my gnawing pains will never rest Unbroken torment Every breath, oh, becomes deep My cancer mating call Ramshackle tumors like an anchor I don't think a love so deep could be worth it at all I dream in crystalline A false reality Is bound to shatter It tightens its hold on me The fragments eviscerate A stasis I can't escape Dream and waking nightmare Have become the same Unbroken torment
