-Scream- Don t you dare whisper anymore The echoes of my screams still ring - This ruined skull-room has no door - The scorpions crawl and God they sting Reverberations - sound on bone Wave after wave in this small space The screams don t travel past my throat The tears don t travel to my face -Swallow- Choke down the bile that rises up Hold down the words behind the teeth Just swallow it on threat of breath And let it all to rot beneath Let acid run right down this throat Just let it burn the blistered skin But drink it down -it tastes like milk - The bitter taste comes from within -Flay- My surface has been stripped away And now my innards steam and stink My gorge is raw and air won t pass So can you hear me when I think This bubbling speech spills from my lips The pleas I send to muffled ears The naked sinew strains and snaps The joints dissolve - saliva sears ------
