Trust in the Dark
Succumb to the succubine nectar
The nature of life
Feeding on itself
To survive through the night
We fight
Fuck
And feed off each other
A primordial urge
Embedded phonetically to epigenetically spread like a plague of light
Naked and shinning brightly in time through history
Once you’ve tasted Her sweet embrace
Her poisonous kiss
You must succumb to the cold stillness
Or use lifeless eyes and reflect back as you feed
Unaware you’re bleeding out all the while
