I felt the softest protoplasmic kiss to grace my ear A futile synapse bypassed-blockaded the neurons faded Follow close but not much closer And listen close, oh listen close sir Your eyes and ears are tainted gears that turn away from every worm
So lock the doors and shut the windows What we say here stays here Oh if only I had known Looking back on every corner I cut I would have bore the larger load I would have walked the longer road Like I said What we say here stays here
I can taste the coldest chemical omens that the worms carved to my tongue With such poise and I am poisoned It won’t be long With such a touch as theirs it’s bound to break the skin So listen close my dear, these walls are paper thin
These walls are paper thin/And if you scream you’ll give us away Through the walls and every orifice and every corner of the skin Hold your breath and clench your fists because the worms are ready to begin
When you know that, to look back Would mean a thousand wounds You’ll know your right on track And once your eyes, have fought back Those rebels in the dark You’ve lost the stars
But once your wounds fill in And once your blood can thin…
Stronger with strong words And bolder than boulders Our might is unclear So watch what you say here.
