Red skull

I look in the mirror and all I see is
a red skull,a nasty little demon
digging into my mind and smothering my soul

my pretty skeleton is bursting
in this skin,all ivory and electric
beneath a suit I need to live

anatomy's dramatic when you're boring
and lonely and thinking about
phantoms that will never know your name

the night is all about music dripping from mouths
divided into squares and sequins
of brain-damaging colors

the cat is snoring and my mind is churning
every deed tattooed on my fingers
with loathing content

I look in the mirror and all I feel is
a crimson reflection,a cinematic shadow
creating characters and craving tension
