The Fragile Claws

By Trail of Fiends

Let us remain pale
And write our tale
Of demented signs on a bloodied rail track
And encounters of joy wrapped in rarity

We are two claws
Escaping the last
One is a torch of scorn
The other, a season of wreck

We desfigure from tedious dreams
With cold fingertips
And pride in our lips

We are hated
And inflamable
With stitched souls

If the world hunt us
We´ll hide in our roots
And before the night falls
Carve me Alyssa, deep
Close to me
