In the Cracks of Your Affection

[Darkdale]

I’ve concealed the fear your feel,
I won’t revel the cracks in your affection,
It’s hard enough to steer in the absence of direction.
Peel back my steel skin and discover the sin that haunts the cobwebs of my heart.
Grind against the stone, leave my love alone,
I’ll abdicate this thrown, I’ll seal the tomb,
Healing the boon with poison’s from old Rome.
I’ve been screaming in deep drumming tones,
I’ve been sleeping in gray silk dreams.
The gods obligate the eel like pike I wrap my heart around,
And I’m burrowing my way through the earth,
In the womb of the goddess.
I’m dethroned.
I’m dry bones forgotten and alone.
Dry bones, I am a fossil.
Dig me up and see.
Dig me up and see what I’ve concealed in the cracks of your affection.
