Absent Minded

Host

Let me in
it won't be like last time
there won't be any trouble
there won't be any screaming
just merciful silence.

Let me in
I'm good company
keep me inside
and never set me free
feel me claw my way out
of the center of you
there is no0thing
nothing you can do

Let me in
it won't hurt this time
i will hollow you inside out
numb you from the core
and wiggle my way out
keep me safe
and secret
set me safely
inside
let me eat my way
out of you
and swallow
all of your pride

Let me in
so i can be comfortable too
just open up
and invite me in
and i will welcome myself
inside of you
i will gnaw deep inside
i will burrow to make my home
i will turn around
and roll over
and then i will grow bigger
and feast my way out.

Let me in
it won't be like before
just open that door
open your eyes wide
invite me in
and say you're mine
and I'll work my hooks in
I'll latch into the bottom
of your spine
and feed and feed and feed
i will grow and be patient
i will control you
you are my protector
my carrier
my lover
my host
