Prey

Take me. Break me. Recreate me.
Burn it down. Light me up.
Diluted terror raises peaks in the flat line.
You pulled off of the highway.
You said things weren't going to go my way.
I trusted you. Just like I always did.
Ribs ache as I shift my weight, lying face down on the pavement.
It's comforting. It reminds me of the first time you took me down.
Who do you pray to? What guided you here, holding me down?
Who do you pray to? You stare in my face as the lights go out.
Barely breathing but always smiling.
Always trying. Always prying my way out.
Take me. Break me. Recreate me. Or just end me.
I'm not the kind of sick that can be cured.

Growing up, I had had enough.
Beat down, broken, left out.
I couldn't see it their way. Could not feel it their way.
I needed something, a place to go.
And then I found it, I started to know what it felt like to be alright.
To feel something.
No one can stop this. No one can take this away from us.
No one can break this. No one can take this away from us.
Bleeding hands reaching out for help.
I just needed someone to listen.
But first, I needed to find my voice.
I hear the sound. It shakes me back to life.
It wakes me from this living nightmare. I finally feel alright.
We're all fucked. So, fuck it all. (KTD)
--- Killing the Dream: We're All Dead Ends ---
There's nothing we can do.
We're all going down. On this ship, we'll never make it home.
Nothing every changes because everything was meant to fail.
And we're feeling it again. So, scream.
Fuck it all.

It is no small art to sleep. Terror becomes fatigue.
It veils itself in isolation. Chaos reigns.
Now I can hear what I couldn't before - the cry of all things that are to die.
Are you alive?
Let me shake you from this sleep.
Let me help you find relief.
Let me help you scream.
I know I should just let you be.
Come back to us.
Between breaking and broken.
I need a pressure release.
I would shut the world down.
We must remain. Chaos reigns.
Let me in.
It's all inside your head, but I heard when you said, "Get me out of here."
I feel breathing, but this isn't you.
I shake with fear and love and rage and despair.
I feel unprepared.
Everything is everywhere.
Slow it down and try to care.
I'll wait this out.
Come back to us.
