You're scarlet soaked and bold 

and the sheep's eyes locked to mine, 

sink to my bones. 

Though your lips still drip, 

intentions, they keep me wanting more... 



It's rising against 

all the walls we built for falling. 

All the walls we built just 

stand in vain to draw you near. 

It's the wool to hide the wolves. 

And under these toes from where we last spoke, 

Your words laid so firm. 

But I did not shed that skin like You said. 

When the mason neglects the mortar, 

looks become deceiving 

and when the bricks start to fall, 

I'll be the one crawling down this road so dark. 



Vices like vipers 

Speak in whispers. 

My heel's the meat to sink their teeth, 

Like the viper I kept when You said, "Let go!" 

This is what it took for me to see.
