Old Friends - Eldest 11

Cover me with your claws

Make me strong

They intend to do me harm

Preserve butterfly

Kissing the mouth

A thicket of new veins

Comfortable in sin

Unnoticed but necessary

You are my friends

The Wicked Winds, OHHH.

Gods of drugged sleep

Every lock has a key

Hello Monsters…(In the darkness)

It’s good to see you my old friends

(You've healed me.)

(Holding up their end, tying up my loose ends)

Hello Monsters…(In the darkness)

It’s good to see you my old friends

Wrap your arms around me

I WILL SURVIVE

LIARS… MONSTERS…FAKE FRIENDS… LOOSE ENDS

I don’t care what it costs

Make me strong

They welcome me with open arms

I’m learning to fly

I smell like something died

I’ve been burned once or twice

Inheriting scaled skin

It’s unnoticed but necessary

When you hear your name called

But you’re too scared to open your eyes and see what’s wrong

Because you’re afraid

Every lock has a key

Hello Monsters…(In the darkness)

It’s good to see you my old friends

(You've healed me.)

(Holding up their end, tying up my loose ends)

Hello Monsters…(In the darkness)

It’s good to see you my old friends

Wrap your arms around me

MAKE ME MUTATE…

So I won’t feel anything

Help me mutate

So I won’t feel anything

I long for days gone by

I lie awake at night

Let my empathy sleep

Wrap your claws around me

Help me mutate

So I won’t feel anything

(Help me sleep. Help me sleep)

I long for days gone by

(I'm all twisted up inside as day fades into night)

I lie awake at night

Let my empathy sleep.

Wrap your claws around me.

(MAKE ME MUTATE)

Help me mutate

So I won’t feel anything

I long for days gone by

I lie awake at night

Let my empathy sleep.

Wrap your claws around me
