Braced Imagines and Graves
Looking into the distance and wondering how the demons survive
wings and halos were everything
I used to sing those verses and gather glory underneath the light
Now under ash and darkness, I lost everything
Static in the cracked tv, floorboards fill with burned and rotten skin
Small regrets but I had to do it
But why have I ascended? Why hasn't my vision gone away
"Who said you would join paradise so soon?"
That flesh bubbled and moved
Mixing with the nightmares and drugs
That's when I noticed the skeletons I keep in the closet just got bigger
humming figures birth in the shadows
A new age of demonic shenanigans
Their horns glowed and their smiles were sharp
Bodies jagged, long, and vibrating with the darkness
These animals who once lived in my house found a way like I have
Laughing at the ashes and grabbing everything that is left on the floor,
Breaking, rekindling, and ensuring complete annihilation of everything.
I turn the volume of the static, feeling the last of my humanity in me
Leave
The aura of death surrounding me, I reach for the demons by the neck
Held them down as they want to hear my pain
See tears
watch my smile break
But I remembered what I gave up, to have a better life
Dancing on the ground without a care, they overwhelm me
Claiming names, declaring themselves as lords
They look back on what's left of me
I didn't know who they were; we bonded over sins
Yet they knew I was a threat
Because I wouldn't let anyone get in my way.
