More!More!Core!

Nothing I plant will ever grow again

You poured your salt on the earth

Is this how I ought to die?

Shriveled and alone

A shell of my former self

Or will I crawl out from the dirt?

Covered in the thick earth

Tangled in roots

Rise from the ashes to be judged

I've been watching you for hours to see if you move

The stillness of the moon won't give an inch

The only way to escape your shadow is in the dark

I hope some day you fall

I think I'll fall with you

My back is to the wall

I've changed my mind

I made life uglier

Ripped flesh from bone

You expected more from me

I expected more too

Lock the door behind you

And swallow the key

I hope these windowless walls provide some comfort

I told myself it was for the best

But now the rivers that ran through us have dried

Now I'm gutted before you

Begging you to leave

As if you weren't my own creation

And moving forward should be as easy as walking away

But the path is cyclical

There's no relief in this desert air

The sun on my your shoulders left me burned

Choking on the dust

I beg you for water

And watch you swallow the last drop

I watch you walk away to the sound of the wind

Disappearing in the horizon

And as I watch you leave I feel a part of me was ripped away

The wind sings the remaining sound of what is now a memory

You walked straight to the eye

Swallowed by a mighty hurricane

Fuck

The gate will close on itself

I can hear your scream

Echoing from the mouth of hell

I freed myself from my executioner

This is where it begins

The final blow

The last stand

You've emptied your pockets

You've shown your hand

I wanted nothing more
