Feel Like a Praying Mantis in a Swarm of Locust

from Lost (EP) by SALQIU

/

lyrics

I see worms coming off my flesh
when I look at pictures of me
and in the mirror
there is no reflection
there is no refraction
all is black
all is absence
I dream of maggots swallowing my every bit
as I lay down in binding surrender
and looking up
I contemplate abyss-like skies
falling over mankind
cocooned as infinite sorrow
I feel like a praying mantis
in a swarm of locust
I should be god
among insects
I should be poetry
sung by the damned
while they burn at the stake
I should be praised
in the psalms of the unwritten gospels
my name whispered
in the walls of the akashic room
and I am just
a praying mantis
in a swarm of locust
