Blood drips slow from the ceiling
Oh it tastes like rust
Head’s pounding
Sirens screaming
My mind’s combust
Cops pounding
The door’s caving in
“Where were you” they shout
“where’ve you been”
I’m blank
I’m hollow
The reel won’t play
No past
No shadow
Just a foggy gray
Iron tastes like memory
Bitter and cold
Questions fall like bullets
Stories unfold
I can’t give what I don’t know
Iron tastes like memory
Let it flow
Lights flicker
Shadows twist
The air’s too thin
They demand my answers
Ignore the state I’m in
Time’s a skipping stone lost in the deep
Choking on silence
I can’t even weep
Eyes like daggers
They pierce
They pry
But my truth’s a ghost
No alibi
Iron tastes like memory
Bitter and cold
Questions fall like bullets
Stories unfold
I can’t give what I don’t know
Iron tastes like memory
And it flows
This has a surreal aspect to it. The iron tasting like memory is brilliant. Mind sees blood
Thank you Willow 🙏🏻
Your words truly mean a lot to me.
Brilliantly penned, Drieks. Into the book it belongs! Phenomenal lyrics my friend especially that chorus, love the drive of the musical arrangement, the beat is almost trance like. Excellent work. Appreciate you.

Thank you Damian! 🙏🏻
This is awesome! I’m sorry I’m late to this post!!
Just wow!!
Thank you so much Adelphina! It really means a lot to me.
You have a masterpiece here, poetess – a tragic tale that’s an all too true reality for far too many.
The mind is a mystical machine, she protects and heals, guides and sometimes fools, all for our benefit – we aren’t always aware of what she’s doing for us.
We all have many stories inside of us, but not many of us can tell them. You my dear, speak the stories that most can’t. I wonder if you realize that you are helping heal the world.
Brava.
I can’t thank you enough for your beautiful words. I am pretty bad at accepting compliments so bare with me.
Also, english is not my native language so if I say something that doesn’t make much sense, I apologize!
But thank you for saying all this to me. Truly.
And no, I do not realize I help people through my words but it is really nice to think I can/do.
❤️
You are very welcome.
