Threnody Lyrics

A lifetime tunneling towards
Void stretched out for a cause
Now it's buried in a mountain
Of poison dipped gauze

Embalmed in inky thought
Corpses buried on the banks
Of the Mississippi River

Now she too
Deep in the cold mud, does shiver
The floods drag out the named
Sanctuary decayed

Memory synapses
Rotted out like broken cars
Her sense of composure
Is spiraling out to the stars

A gray and soaking weight
Cell wall division
Corroding under force of tears

Cacophony of voices
Engaging with her brittle ears
Her face gets no relief
Threnody for her teeth
