Shadow Mire'd

from Mythos Mechanism by Vertigo Fox

/

lyrics

Blacker than the new moon’s heart
Cannot accept the mire
Get ‘round this place, where to start?
Always one too many parts
Deeper than my eyes’ bright sparks
Must keep above the mire
Mutant carnivore magic
Sustained on my foes’ inner fire
...
It pulses, just beneath the skin
An extension of the creatures within
Tear flesh-like shells, seared by some inner sin
As I feed upon their surface kin

Stinking of the shape I’m forced to take
If I’m to make it up that spire
Concealed under coat of spots and stars
So much for this adventure
My eyes gleam in midnight dark
Feel the souls within the mire
Naked, far too near it all
Only diving deeper into the fire

Mud and sludge between my claws
Smell every inch of blood I’ve drawn
Not nearly far enough above this ghostly swamp
With just tail to keep steady this side of the drop
...
...

Vertigo Fox enjoys long walks and hikes, though the cats he inevitably encounters always tell him they're prowls.
