Relentless Entrapment
In my dark pool of blood fall tears of fire
In my heart full of ache there breaks desire
Stumbling 'round in chains all I see is black
Fighting back the demons without holding back
Fingers pricked by thorns are essences of you
Scars remain unhealed from all you put me through
Shadows of the night are lurking at my soul
Scattered at your feet are the pieces that make me whole
Fuck you for feeding me secrets and lies
The tears that I've cried are burning my eyes
I'll rape you of your sanity like a thief in the night
Your fiend in the dark like the serpent of light
Tearing through my flesh is a knife in my side
You've unleashed the terror you thought you could hide
Silence entraps my thoughts of seduction
Summoning you into a life of seclusion
I hate you for stealing the love in my heart
Relentlessly painful I'll rip you apart
Beware of this enchantress who's after you mind
When all's said and done it's your life confined
Death's Victim
It shimmered in the darkness of night, and battled with the clouds of snow to let its light shine through. Slowly it lost its strength and began to fade away, but by some unexplainable force of nature its power and extraordinary light began to shine through, once again. Even in the darkness of night, the streets were lit. Not by a bulb, but by nature. The air was still and the earth quiet. The sky glowed, as the moon refused to be hidden.There was a shadow hanging o'er the streets, many shadows, that danced in the night. The stillness of the night and the absence of sounds frightened me. My heart began to pound as the shadows danced their way towards me, their steps not faltering. The moon retreated behind the blankets of snow, it too being afraid of the dead night.
In the quiet distance a shot sounded, then once again all was quiet. As quick as the shot sounded, the warmth turned to a lifeless cold. As the air chilled, a low cry escaped into the silence, slowly turning into a plaguing howl of glum and remorse. Far away beyond the darkness, beyond the stillness, beyond the icy fear, a chruch bell tolled for death just claimed another victim.
How Do You Cry
How do you stop feeling, make your red blood turn black?
How do you turn it off, stab knives into my back?
How do you say it's love, give up on you and me?
How do you wear a smile, say it's not meant to be?
How do you walk away, watch me begin to cry?
How do you break my heart, don't even blink an eye?
How do you steal the sun, shed darkness on my soul?
How do you rob my strength, burry me in a hole?
How do you make me hurt, pretend that I'm not there?
How do you break my heart, say I won't, I swear?
The Bereavement of a Rose
Just now the rose hangs limply from its weathered vase: the black petals falling one by one, covering the brilliantly red blood as they plunge to the street. The rain drops coming down around them are bulky and oppressive, shimmering, a moist dryness to numb the blithe. The petals, alive but losing their vital force, polished in black, descend into a pool of scarlet where death awaits. Now the petals, the fragile petals, blend ravishingly against the crimson rivulet, ghostly, like demons in the night.
The Inanimate Force
I'm afraid of myself, afraid to let go
Stuck in a past that's not even mine
I hide all these feelings that I'm too scared to show
Wishing to turn back the hands of time
I love so easily it terrifies me
So I keep it locked up until things come undone
The love turns to anger and is finally set free
It runs wild for a while, but then it's all gone
There's nothing to do but try to take it all back
But words say so much they can't always be forgiven
Then suddenly I'm lost and my life's out of whack
And I sit and wonder if my love is worth giving
I try to make things different with every new chance
But it's the same old thing every time that I try
I don't know what to do about this life and this dance
Then it all unfolds in my heart so I sit and I cry
I know I could do it if I just had one more shot
But it would take time to conquer my fear
I have to have faith because it's all that I've got
So when I break the barrier I need someone here
It seems that nobody can wait or show me how
How to unlock my dying heart's seat of passion
I'm terrified to accept anyone's love vow
For fear that I'll end up drowning the sensation
I don't want to be left alone with my tears
Because I know it will happen if I let anyone in
The story hasn't changed all through the years
So I know how it turns out when you get to the end
My love will burn so strong in my heart
While somebody hurts me and then walks away
So nothing's left and I always hated that part
The part that says my soul will die on that day
I'll fall into that trap that's been set in my course
It happened to everyone who lived it before
They say you can't stop an inaminate force
So I fight not to become what's waiting in store
