Convent Moll

Smokey room and dusted eyes
Same four walls and shattered glass
Heaven's gaze has turned away
But the red mark on your door stays
Come to me with broken hands
Come to me because you can
I will heal you, consume your suffering
You will drain me until nothing remains

Pray for the end
You've yet to begin
I hear your prayer for the end
But you've yet to begin

Curl like fog around my veins
Set like sun on flattened hills
There is beauty 'neath your will
Sink your teeth in me once again
Taste my blood and carve your name
Wrap your fingers 'round my nerves
Push me away with inertia's weight
Slip into the abyss where you long to be

Pray for the end
You've yet to begin
I hear your prayer for the end
But you've yet to begin

Short of breath at every pulse
Juxtaposed and tangled up
Moving slowly, moving fast
Moment comes, then flies away
Something's writhing in this bed
Has the serpent reared its head?
Coiled and shaking, venomous
Devour me, Ouroboros
