How'd u get ur hands so cold
I could see the frost form
97 years in this home
The simplest of life forms
And Finally the vacancy has lifted
I stand with open arms
And I have made a friend to call my own
This child I will safe guard
Hopefully u take to me as I have done
And let me warm the weakest of ur bones
Possession takes a minute
Let me pick the poison from ur soul
Let me Speak my baratone strictly from ur throat
Ur familys found routine I think its better they dont know
The monster in the closet has a name
He prays u see his form as something safe
And once u grow and venture from this place
He'll guide you further down a road unpaved
Into the arms of someone worth ur love
To chapping lips that work so u can wade
And once you've syphoned all that u can take
His tendrils will come deal with his remains
This monster you have come to know so well is called shame
The sludge that swallows up the worst of choices you had made
And modifies ur compass of morality in turn
To teach you when to shut the f*ck up and behave
He beats u down and f*cks up what once was ok
And strips from u the illusion of choice in this age
F*ck it mute the noise of the empathy for the weak
And skew it into envy towards the company u keep
Let ur eyes grow heavy
Ill stay beside ur bed
I promise you im real
As real as ur own flesh
Point me to ur hurt
And I will do the rest
Is this what they call love
I feel it in my chest
I feel it in my head
Do u smell it on my breath
Do u recognize my touch
As i clean u of this mess
Know I will be ur crutch
In trade I will request
The recesses of ur mind
In which ill make my nest
