Used words
There's a second wind coming as we lie here in our bed
It rattles the bones of our fathers
Carries whispers from the dead
You turn the telly on to drown out your fear
And make the bed up silent on the floor so no-one will hear us
You try so loud to love me but I cannot seem to hear
My skin peels off like paint
Beneath all of our panting there's this noise I cannot shake
Can't you hear that scratching?
There's something at the door
The wind has picked us up now
We're hanging in the air
You grip me like an animal that you're about to spear
'Be good to me' I whisper
Can't you hear it?
It can hear you
Throw the plate at the wall
I'm the paper cut that kills you
I'm the priest that you ignored
I'm the touch you crave
I'm the plans that you made but fuck all your plans I'm bored
Can't you hear that scratching I ask your eyes
I've got knuckle burn from typing all these lines into your chest
The door below it splinters
The creature creeps inside
We fall into each other
The scratching grows so loud
That unwanted animal wants nothing more than to get out
You rip my ribcage open and devour what's truly yours
Our screaming joins in unison
I cry out to the lord
If we join our hands in prayer enough to Go I imagine it all starts to sound like applause
Those plates they smash like waves
That second wind is coming love it's coming for all we own
On the creature scratches it doesn't know how to get out
I wink but you don't get the joke
Be good to me I beg of him
'No no not I'
