The Ship
It’s a Hell ship
The Inquisition has made this place their home
Careful you’ll be accused
No one seems to know of what, just accused
Pick your Poison
They have it all, even poison.
Unless it's quick, there is no quick here.
Don’t linger, move
Don’t look too long
The Iron Maiden squeezing shut
Two men are becoming stew
Don’t look!
How did I end up here?
Looking up I see myself on the bridge
The bridge that's actually a carnival ride pretending to be a bridge
Is that how? Did I look too long at the ship?
No, no focus.
Avoid the puddle, the blood is very red, too red
wait
Why does the blood look fake?
Are those plastic limbs?
Are they torturing manikins?
Is that inquisitor dressed as a carnival barker?
Why do my nightmares become carnivals lately?
Not that this was scary, not really.
Everything has become grayer recently
And here it’s like my emotions have been turned off
Is it because of the nightmare?
Doesn’t matter, find a bolt hole.
There will be time to think later
Get. Off. The. Ship.
Not the water, Stay away from that
Don’t draw attention
Breath
You’re not a manikin, but that could change
Breath.
Nightmares don’t linger.
