Runes

Look at these runes
My appeal, my excuse
My remedial prayer
A soft language drug
Designed to make up
For what we lost on the way
Close your eyes now honey bunny
Take the syringe in your hand
And draw what you can
From my opiate voice
Then give it back to me
In a moment you'll see
We really don't have a choice
Go to sleep now honey bunny
And when we wake up
Everything thats kept inside of us
Will take on a different shape
Naked words
Grow from me to you without restraints
Unapologizing truths
Like the sun
Rivers will be running from your mouth
And eradicate the curse
Eða like a child
Opens up your moments with a smile
And eradicates the curse
Put your head on my chest
And forget about the rest
In gods echoing sound
Like the perpetual tree
In the fall we will be
With our leaves on the ground
Close your eyes now honey bunny
Turn your cheek to the left
Turn your heart to the one
And let go of your string
I'll gently put the needle
Into the vein in your neck
You won't notice a thing
Go to sleep now honey bunny
