The Heir of Storms

I paced back in forth

Trying to feel normal

In the outside of our burned house

I know I fucked up

I did everything I could

I drop the body in the flames

I should be ok

I shouldn't complaint

There's no way they'll find her

There's nothing for me left to do

I looked then I saw it, something that appeared in the distance

It's old and creaking, the police think I would go far

I started heading to the bloodstain barn

Opening the place

Animals were wild, yet stable within their cages

If I stay there, underneath the pigs and rats

I shall live forever no matter how many times they look around

I must not be found, I am bravc and I must be proud

I'm breathing heavy, I am steady

The floorboards don't seem to like my feet rumbling like drums

If I keep doing this, I will be done

Pushing through hay and covered in shit

I swat bugs trying to eat me and make me sick

Trying to stay ready for justice to come

I heard the sirens and voices

They are searching for me

I know this

I'm not insane, I didn't have many choices

But they will lock me away

What I did was out of love, I'm still holding the strain of her hair

I put it in my pockets and then I felt the locket touch my fingers

I held it tight around my fist

Kissing it even, hoping for something I don't believe in

Feeling the overalls, slowly becoming a tight straightjacket

My lungs shrink and slowly flutter

I am virtue, I am honor

I didn't want to fight her

I can feel the stones rising from the ground

Breaking through the floor

Surrounding me while I don't make a sound

She wanted this, she stepped forward

I did what I have to do

I did what anyone else would do

My sweat is pouring

My tears are streaming

Then I heard a snap from behind me

She was the only one who loved you

The boards in the barn are crumbling onto me

The rocks shoot forward into my body

Thunder hides my screaming

Rain is washing my bloodstain guilt into this barn

The locket fell out of my hands

As I forget how to stand

I fall quickly into a pit

It pops open with a hiss

A picture of us that I miss

I loved her, and she was leaving

I begged her and held onto the door

I told her "Please no more!"

She ran to the back, she thought I was going to attack

I was only trying to calm her down

She open the safe in the bedroom

Tears like mine fills her green eyes

She grabbed the gun and tried to kill me

When the bullet flew across my chin

I felt my skin give in, tore her apart

Holding her dead body in my arms

I feel a mask come under my face

A skeleton replacing my head

Horns growing out of the sides

I found nothing left inside

My teeth sharpen

My voice deepen

My skin is dark as the void

I have lost what I am

So I ran and became this tragedy, running away from everything

The wild animals burst from their cages

Breaking the barn, setting a riot

Creating fear and tearing up the land

Gunshots blaring in the distance

Here I am, feeling the animals finally feast upon me

Watching the stormy sky

With wood in my bones

Paint in my chest

Water stuck in my eyes

Frozen in time.
