The Jericho Protocol

Darkness in me; contorts me to break

Beyond the veil past mirrors, unseen.

I think there’s something wrong with me;

Collapsing are my memories,

We can tangle with devils in the white moonlight

Until it all obliviates

“Oh, honey…”

(Heaven is a place where we go to die;

I don’t want to die)

Dance with me.

Stay with me.

Fall with me,

And bury me.

(Die and reset; I die and reset)

My bleeding eyes

Count the times they’ve watched me die.

(How many times have I broken my mind?)

Kill me slowly endlessly.

The shadows dance; they’re goring me.

Dance with me.

Stay with me.

Fall with me.

Bury me.

How can I be so wrong

To want my love with me?

I won’t be chained to a realm that favours

Burying your pain.

I see my scarlet red streak

From the blood they’ve spilled.

If they won’t let me tend your wounds,

I’ll burn their kingdom down.

Won’t you dance with me?

Won’t you stay with me?

Won’t you fall with me?

I won’t let them bury me.

(Heaven is a place where we go to die,

I don’t want to die, I can’t stand the thought of

losing you or losing my…)

Dance with me.

Stay with me.

Fall with me.

And bury…

I have died a thousand deaths and I will die a thousand more to come back home to you.”

So you can watch me fall

From your forgiving arms.

Limb and soul I tore.

Watch your Heaven collapse;

I am your Daughter no more.

Heaven is a place where we go to die;

I don’t want to die, I can’t stand the thought of losing you or losing my mind.

As my mind falters and begins to break–”
