Karma/Violence

"She craved karma

And I craved violence

After they'd long escaped

In the silence

​

she played Fire

and I played Siren

she dreamt of waves 

I dreamt of caves

from Shelter

to Underworld

two nameless 

growing girls

​

she never wept

I never slept

she controlled her faith

I controlled my shape

under our skin

formless maidens

indistinct

dependent twins

​

she craved karma

and I craved violence

after they'd long escaped

in the silence

​

she craved karma

and I craved violence

after they'd long escaped

in the silence

​

she craved karma

and I craved violence

after they'd long escaped

in the silence

under our skin

formless maidens

indistinct

dependent twins

​

from shelter

to underworld

two nameless

growing girl..."
