choose_your_own_misadventure
in a silent way there's no way out of here, my dear
we're governed by the things we fear
they swim and skate on ice so thin
the taste is bitter
but better with age

stockholm syndrome for the senses
a home for all the superficial
companions and hangers on
i tried to let my love light shine
but the juice was gone
a flashlight with no batteries
i threw it at the wall
it didn't break or bounce
it just froze in mid-air
now i can't see a thing

it's so warm
you're so cold
i'm amazed we feel anything at all
it's so dark in this place
and as you turn to trip me
i can almost see the muscles of your mouth
flexing at each end

can you hear me?
can you hear me falling down?
can you hear me?
can you hear me hit the ground?
