Ephialtes

Hiding in my own skin, I'm not alone

A lament destructing my envelope

I let my body slide, caged in this pond

Then I immersed myself in distressing memories

Hiding in my own skin, I'm not alone

A lament destructing my envelope

Chill waves on my skin

Never waking up

Turns into concrete

Force-feeding my lungs

Limbs weighing me down

Project me in deep

In my heavy, silent sleep

Gorging-greed inside my cage

Their claws on my skin

Musk embodiment

Lure me into them

I embrace my fate

The things that are not

Don't fit my body

Let me out

In my heavy, silent sleep

They are preying

And they are fed

Let them in

Pull them down into the grounds

Alive

A world built upon me

With an only straw to breathe

It is the end of everything

But I'm stuck in this box

I beg the world some empathy

And I'm still in this box

This is the end of all my everything
