Nest from EP by Ladybird

contained in silence. constant chattering. chipping of my teeth. laughing violently.

eyes veer towards me. moving from side to side. i try to look away. i see right through you.

weak, cold, gray, i am. inside of me where you can only find the staples. torn, out, on, display. just like yours eyes gouged out they keep blinking.

faceless you turn. all in unison. i can hear my breathe. i cannot hear yours.

dead. embodiment. suffer. you have no place in my head. no textures. no response. only red sockets | they continue.

my steps are intentional, though it may seem to you that my head is gone. irises are blackened because i dare not open my eyes. humming to myself to block out the sound of fabric tearing and slates wiped clean. bodies hit the ground. my steps are intentional.

disregarding every defense/ i silence myself and i crack my eyes open to see what becomes of the structureless husk. and i am taken aback by the smell of rot.

senselessness, i turn away from the corpses in the pile. this is what i wanted. but their voices continue.
