In Your Chest

Hand on my shoulder I'm not afraid I am horrified I have been flayed A normal set of eyeballs I plead and beg Something unfamiliar Unfamiliar legs I'll bark like a dog for you I'll shred all my self I'll show me this devil true I'll bury these arms A normal pair of eyebrows Normal looking nose Something unrestricted Something I don't know Welcome to the valley, she said to me Welcome to the valley Welcome to what's left Welcome to a place that we call "god" A place in your chest Welcome to the graveyard, he said Welcome to the shuttle Welcome to a crumbling mortuary Where we shiver and huddle Welcome to the red room Welcome to your skull Welcome all the houseguests That answer your cull Welcome all the spacemen That drift here like clouds I'm welcoming plumes of worry Drift over dead crowds And I love the crows I love the crows And I love the crows beak I love the beak I love the elephants foot I love what she means Welcome to the ocean Welcome all the rest I'm welcoming ghosts To a place in your chest
