Scratch and scrape
Pin pricks everywhere...

Molly ran away as far as the police are concerned
Rebecca went to the shop and never returned...

Pieces of my mind float down around me
I see myself in the shadow of where I’ve been...

Out there, there is someone who prayed everyday
Yet nobody ever answered their prayers...

Burn them up
So the world can inhale them...

Afloat but not floating
That’s how I feel...

Autumnal grey skies
Push forward dark clouds...

Dear Mr Sandman come to me
Brew me up some royal tea...

Gravedigger dig deep
And to soothe my soul...

I do so wonder... about the wolf
His sharp teeth dripping red...

What lies are sort out in silence
What truth is found in a name...

Every house is aflame
On this feast of Samhain...
