The Velvet

from Colossus by Everson Poe

/

about

inspired by the phineas poe trilogy of books by will christopher baer.

lyrics

static
stagnant
my muscles betray their master
stolen
sterile
she left a hole inside me
filter
falter
these stitches can not hold me
broken
bleeding
my insides are disconnected wires

the velvet warms and binds
the gloaming swallows whole
my dead are piled high
and buried in the snow

perfect
poison
infected with your substance
captor
killer
could you be my savior?
lover
liar
child of the serpent
demon
devil
this trail of bodies leads to us

the velvet warms and binds
the gloaming swallows whole
my dead are piled high
and buried in the snow

there is nothing but furious silence

sorrow is like the ocean
and sometimes i wish my heart would stop
