spread thin as the fog creeping slow across the forest floor
summer bodies flirting with the cool light of dawn
a frail hand reaches out to make a pact with the void
where the abyss meets the light a place for displaced feelings
you feel the summertime burn the madness inspire
palpitating pressure builds ready to explode and free itself from this prison of flesh
a no refund policy on the resident grey matter inside
we each pay a portion of our souls for the right to exist
before dawn making sense of ghastly scribbles on the wall
