close your eyes and cover your head
hold your breath and trust our hand
we'll lead you to a place where night
is everlasting
so you need not be afraid of the dark.
we'll teach you that pain comes
and never goes, so you can get used to
your scars opening again.
every blemish upon your ruined skin
tells a story.
we can give you plenty to tell.
you're safe with us, little one
trust our voice and let the light blind you
so you never must see it again.
the voice of a thousand angels
will thrum down upon your little ears
until you hear no more of us.
kill your mind, beautiful child,
you're safe with us.
