Birthing Sloth

Father's room is dark

In precious time our hearts will be alright

This floor is cold and I'm afraid

I am not afraid of conjuring her back from the grave

Whose are these voices quickly approaching me?

"Your sacrifice is not sufficient

We'll need plenty more

Before you set your sights to her."

Wires are crawling out

Struggling at my leg

I hear my brother scream

As he is consumed like a burning tree

Not again

Confiscate my arms, my heart

I must reclaim his soul at least

This sudden dream is a distraction

A backwards creature writhed in guts, in puss, in a mass of putrid flesh

This sudden dream is a distraction

A backwards creature writhed in guts, in puss, in a mass of putrid flesh

From which it cannot escape

Locking eyes with eyes as bright

As the sun reflecting off of clouds

0n such a beautiful day (beautiful day)

If only this could be illusive

Frozen by the loss of blood

Dragging myself to steel

Inching myself

To this familiar body

Painting a seal

On this familiar body (body)

All's black

Time is priceless

This bond is unconditional

I've abandoned limbs

Just to claim a part of you

Expressing sorrow with degradation pouring from my eyes

Inhaling blood, blacking out amidst the futile crime

Weightless then

Clutched in the arms of a giant man

This dream is surreal

Sailing through the gusts of wind from hell

Weightless then

Clutched in the arms of a giant man

This dream is surreal

Sailing through the gusts of wind and the rain
