The Laws of the Flesh - Cryptopsy

She moved slowly in order not to wake him

I reassured her this was the right decision

She tenderly slipped her hand

Underneath his sleeping head

But when she withdrew his weapon

He began to stir

Which caused her to recede

I lied down on the floor next to him

Nodded approvingly

For her to end this nightmare

The gun went off and chunks of skull splattered

Onto my face and all over her night gown

A frenzy broke out overhead

The media overran our tiny town

Wondering what would drive a youth to kill

He was a horrible man

He beat me bloody and tore us down

Tormented us with his presence

Controlling us every single moment

This had been going on for far too long

We tried to escape but he soon found us

And dragged us back to where we belonged

These are the laws of the flesh

The consequences of our crime

Brought to light our suffering

Our tiny home was a war zone

Where pain flourished
