Tied up and gagged
Hooded and tagged
Theyâre all yours to command
I am corpse, I am carrion prey
I have a crow at each brow
plucking eyes in my mask of death
The darkness is complete
Whoâs the hooded one, mother mine?
Who is gagged when all are silent?
and bitten when we move
Inflamed! My mask is burning
The night is dead; dark, putrid flesh turning
âpon a chair in the dying corner
I am your bagful of fear
Iâll commit, Iâll admit
Iâll be the dagger, drive me in
Iâll be all motionless and still
My river runs within â still and deep
I am beast, I am carrion prey to the Cyclops tribe
String me up to a cherry tree
come one, come all â and hang with me
Iâm already hogtied â entangled in your marionette strings
I am dancing
the embodiment of fear
a shake for every fearful tear
a ruckus for the righteous
In the end
They no longer know
cast stones into mirrors â onto themselves
Mother mine!
Stab yourself, mother mine
bleed your own river, dark and wide
Mine runs within, still and deep
Donât shake me so, it will overflow
