the only friend you betray
is sleep
hidden in a dark corner
at the edge of perception
your masks/faces
are melting into one other

tears will withdraw
and eyes will go dry

don't wait for us
not yet
we dwell between walls of flesh
we know the static noise
that you hear in your head
is a symptom of madness

the candle is flickering
weaker and weaker
memories are beginning to rot
there's no shedding of skin
no circles

the bridges will be ruined
and a great curtain of silence
will fall down over the world

the ship leaves the shore
without you
the horses will die
your blood becomes water for travellers

you weep
