Black Out

Cover and smother
Block out the light
What is wrong
Who is right?
Crush out breath and
Bring forth the blind then
Thick wet blood
Mixes with mine

Search and rescue
Seek and destroy
Push into me
Distraction, decoy.

Block out the day
Keep out the light
Black out truth
Keep guard
Hold tight.
