Slither

Shallow breaths
I can't breathe it in
Aching limbs
I can feel I'm sinking
Crawling back inside my head
The voices speak a different language

Slither
Slither

Time heals all
But I've yet to feel grief's sting fade
Instead I wear it like a cross
I'm buried with the past
And haunted by the things I've laid to rest
Is this all that I've become? (all that I've become)

The darkest corners
The quiet call
An aimless wander
A gentle warmth
I've been trying to keep it in
But the cold, it shakes my bones
And forces past my skin

It's dry skin

Time heals all
But I've yet to feel grief's sting fade
Instead I wear it like a cross
I'm buried with the past
And haunted by the things I've laid to rest
Is this all that I've become? (all that I've become)

I've been here before
There doesn’t seem to be a place beyond these walls
Stare into the jaws of misery
And wait for it to sink its teeth in me
Am I more than merely flesh?
And will I find comfort in death?

Time heals all
But I've yet to feel grief's sting fade
Instead I wear it like a cross
I'm buried with the past
And haunted by the things I've laid to rest
Is this all that I've become? (all that I've become)
