Quietly Tripping - XIXXIXXIX x Metrivus // Mashup

Do I break? They all watch and call it art. I pull the string. Something screams. The question remains The question arrives wearing a disguise. Messenger arrived. Pale as unfinished business. Static in its lungs. Ash in its mouth. It spoke my name Nothing left alive to hear. Something else is here. Something patient. Something ancient. Something learning how to wear a human face. Pretty poison survives. Not because it's strong. Because nobody notices when it changes shape. Pretty poison survives. Say you will betray all that kept you sane. Say you will abandon Every excuse. Leave something behind for the thing that's following you Death for all. Complete the circle of this divide Nothing left alive to hear Something else is here Pretty poison will survive Pumping the kinetic drive Some will speak of that which earns its keep Were you loud? Were you quiet? Did you ever try to fight it? Or did you simply learn how to decorate the cage? Pray you will survive This apathetic drive
