Humbird

Something in the darkness wispers my name
Stripping it all 'till just dead skin remains
Eyeing me down I see
The base of my insecurities

Sanities built as frail
A desolit place ment for taking lifes
Slowly it's breaking down
Faceless and alone they can't abide

Some say she was gone
Some of them say she lost her mind
Most of them turned away
But all of them helped her take her life

The surface is deeper than you can scratch
The desprit are frayed and lash right back
Humbird is where it began
Humbird is where we say goodbye

Better left to burn
