Crocodile Tears

Separate the shroud Separate A light shown hollow What has been, will remain forever blackened Seething with disdain Cupped hands collect only crocodile tears Severed and absolute I refuse to be blinded any longer Bathed in your sorrow Condemnation and contempt Clutched and clawing Grasping for warmth Delusive radiance Pour me out, lick me up Bleed, Feed, Recede Bleed, Feed, Recede I refuse to be blinded any longer Separate the shroud Separate the shroud Bleed, Feed, Recede Bleed, Feed, Recede There is no solace in this apparition No sleep, no peace Only broken frames Scattered shells Inhale, breathe anew The air fills my lungs Make the piles Let the water flow Begin, Arise
