Husk

Commotion, every chime
Give over, it's fine
Composure, on the line
You're stronger, unwind

I know you're driving me further time and time
So as to wait till you better feel inclined

Shark-bitten man, alone and raw
Don't push away, lest they withdraw

Erosion, shadow be thy husk
Go downwards, at your behest
Devotion, hard to find
Repay me, in kind

I know you're driving me further time and time
So as to wait till you better feel inclined
I know you're driving me further time and time
To bear the fangs of your aching in my mind

Shark-bitten man, alone and raw
Don't push away, lest they withdraw
As shadows dance on canvas walls
Worn in a tent, the quiet calls
