Guillotine

Slide subtle, poetic words over the tongue and between your teeth, distorting the meaning beyond all recognition

With our new blood, born again to sever all the ties, it doesn't sting as bad to say goodbye

Crawl out from the sea, and feel the ground beneath webbed feet

The world is ending in a whisper and is reborn with a scream

Turn tired, placid eyes to the sky, where I can be seen honestly with you once again
