Medusa

She came into my room with her hair down
Held me up against the wall by my throat now
Just wanna sleep but I'm haunted by your breath
Every night, every dream, and the smell is like death
When the snakes come and whisper to me, whisper again
And though I try to thrash away I'm frozen into my skin
And when I try to scream, my mouth is filled with ash
She's still on top of me, with eyes like cut glass
And I'm searching through my mind for the mantra, the sutra
The poison you need to have inside you to dance with medusa
