Silent Chamber

Endeavor to seduce me
Gather my wounds to be cauterized
Show me something that cannot be
The future rushes into my eyes
Take away my name
Lie to me
Tell me every fate is the same
Release me into the waves
This chamber will be silent once I’ve gone away
Impassioned, yet so refracted
Leave me to my shame
Go from me
Find another life you can claim
Forget me — I can survive
This torture bleeds the pressure keeping you alive
Torn and broken, bleak and blinding
Omens burn bright
Written in the sky at night
In this chamber
I can hide from starlight
These walls will shield my ears from the sound
Carry my dead weight down
Lay me to rest in a cave
Gather my burns to be grafted
From the last shreds of skin that remain unscathed
Crack the firmament
Now hear me
Cast your hearts upon the cement
And fear me — This is my curse
My chamber now encompasses the universe
Constellations, core and creature
Secrets all mine
Written in the sky at night
In this chamber
I become the starlight
