Placid

Tell me does it hurt
When you look at the light
Do you flinch?
And turn away your eyes

Where did you get
That blood on your chin
Is it from hiding
Hiding… Away once again

We hide in circles
They hunt in packs
Will you embrace me
If they attack

You can tell them by
The smell of their skin
Where red should go out
And blue should go in

Swear to the gods
If you’re a person too
Do you lift up your hands in fear
That you’re a person too?
