BENEATH THE SKIN

Journey through the chambers of my saviour Where mould and damp is the comeliest sight The moon bends down bemused and still As day by day fades into disbelieve

A life a time I can’t recall And memory served as blistered sores The wind is witness to my disease Beneath the skin hides a nightmare so real

How did I die if die I did? So suddenly trapped inside these walls Oh dearest mother remove this plague ‘Less I expire in this agony

Beneath! Beneath the skin Why, Lies the horror of my dreams?

Rejoice in my decay Rejoice in my decay

“Why do I fear the worst is Ghastly? The life I know I can not bear! Sounds of a thousand and thousand legions Marching down in my chest. What are these treasures? The milky white crumbs that are festering there? Maggots dear god And breeding in frenzy it seems to me!“

Oh Why? Die? Why? Die? I fade away, Fade away Lies! Lies! Beneath the skin, breaths decay

Fade away Fade away Fade away Fade away Beneath this decay!
