The temporary dwelling of a decaying husk
A yesterday that repeats, unlike itself
Go forth, Lamia
A heart wrapped in bandages of a nest
Rough to the touch, eyes hungering
Yearning to be loved
Entwining oneself with anyone and everyone
The princess of snakes who cannot even love herself
The first, drowned in desire, sinking into the sea after robbing the safe
The second, consumed by despair, gouging out their eyes and falling into darkness
The third, burnt by longing, turning to ashes after blazing in flames
You, the next prey, are searching
Piercing words, turning into scales
Lamia, who feeds on love and pain
Daily vomiting hysteria
Searching for reasons to live, a mystery
Even the icy shores of madness
Were shattered by the pride that kneels
Decorating the heart like a diamond
The beautiful Lamia
Promises and gods always in the sky
We who sought beauty, blamed our ugly selves
With shared loneliness, we endured hunger
On the sinking, final night
With eyes like discarded shells
The whispered words were
“I want to escape from this world now, into a happy story…”
In an instant――life slipped away from the drained glass
“If only it were with you, immortality wouldn’t have been so bad”
Only you had a happy ending in the story
All that remains is a faint smoke rising gently
Like bleached gauze
Farewell, Lamia
The temporary dwelling of a decaying husk
A yesterday that repeats, unlike itself
Go forth, Lamia
