sleep serapis sleep – confinement lyrics

Loading...

the rope around her neck pulled taut like the one
around her youth
and every once-beloved misled their sight, in horrified
untruth
with a torch behind his back, he feigned paternal
consolation
no father would let a child have a life like this, so
he’d insist she have none

“now, hold your breath, scarlet
drink not in these burning currents
stay your lungs here, where the sharks prowl.”
a drip of red innocence thins in the black of a
merciless sea

“just you hold your breath, scarlet.
you’re too good for this world.”

drowning deceit in flames, confined
death is now the only mercy on which she relies
the sky is spinning, not too much longer now
what a welcome release from this world to shut her eyes
and never have to see through them again…

i see you’ve washed ashen guilt from your hands to
indulge in applause,
without a dry eye for your victim or a selfless pause
so even if you can’t, i see you for what you are:
griever, seer, fiend, you’ve lost yourself in the char

h-ll’s no escape from her pursuit
until vengeance carves her stillborn heart anew
from within me she imbues,
eager to breathe in, at long last, the scent of the
blood of a father she thought she knew…

“still, may this reckoning forgive.
and so, forever shall you live…

for, true suffering needs neither fire nor flood.
eternally, will consequence be your ever-living h-ll.
and when i’m dead and gone, only the blackest of depths
will remember your name.
but when sanity abandons you, mine is the only word
your broken mind will think to say:

…scarlet”

you’re too good for this world.
