I barely remember

Clutched to the breast

Of an aching shadow of a desperate lover

I’m bleeding freely now

My corpse, my lover

The dripping strings pulled through my veins

They’re so hard to find now

I’m splitting apart beneath the surface

The stars are weeping now

Amongst the eternal darkness

The only life left

And soon there’ll be no more

The emptiness that is my soul

I haven’t seen myself in so long

I haven’t seen myself in so long

You left me drunk for years

And waiting to wake in agony…

And time stood still in her passing

I’m splitting apart beneath the surface

How long will you hold me tight?

Crushing my chest, denying me of light

All of my fucking life, I’ve dreamed of going limp in your arms

The bars on my heart…

“We’re never apart, those nights you ripped my flesh from bone.

For that, I’ll never be alone… for now.

You plague my most erotic nightmares and vivid dreams

Every cold loveless night, you drive me to lunacy

Raping me to tears

Or at least so it seems
