The Swamp
Sunk in the turgid muck I keel and squat in foot long thrusts Toward the only place I feel no shame, Or bidden by the buzzing stare That cuts across the surface of the stagnant swamp.
Here three days no sun or rain Breaks the mists that cling to my face. No will to speed up or despair to drown, Just constant ghosts in seas of brown. My pace is tugged with desperate will And a scream pukes from my lungs.
I wrench apart the vine and root That keeps me from the comfort sounds Of falling rain and leaves and the warmth of steely sun.
I find, dismayed, the tortured land, Of burning bone and sea of flesh, Echoing my former home. Obliteration of stubborn hope forgotten Nothing saved of savaged love, Of life depraved. Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
I close my eyes, fall away. Fall back into the swamp, To sleep, to dream and forget To float back to the start where I woke In the turgid muck again.
To start my trudge again.
Keep me from peeling, stop me revealing Keep me relieving, only deceiving.
Keep me from peeling, only revealing Filthy relieving, don't be deceiving.
Lie still...
