Past,

With ghostly touch

Wakens my scars,

Sting so precise that

Makes me shiver,

Turns my will to dust!

YOU DREAMT TOO MUCH!

YOU SOUGHT TOO FAR!

THIS IS THE PRICE!

Now to its poisoned river

I commend my trust...

Into the darkest night I'd walk

To unbind you,

To break your damnation...

I'd smother this snake, this bane inside you...

For salvation...

Demons you hide - you must face them!

Failings denied - just embrace them!

Thorns of your hell, of this iniquity,

They're daunting me!

Frustrations you bleed - they consume me!

Doubts that they feed rage within me!

Stumbling through haze of this uncertainty

Is changing me!

FANGS OF

FEAR AND DISTRUST,

CUTTING THROUGH SENSE,

HORRID AND CUSSED!

Can I defy this darkness

Tearing all apart?

GROWING DISGUST!

STRANGLING YOUR HEART!

SCARRING YOU FAST!

Will I be drowned in madness?

Worn by sickening lust...

There's only pain where I can reach you,

Only shadows of angst and temptation...

Our wondrous charm, is it broken?

TAINTED!

WITHIN HIS CORE!

BREAK YOUR ILLUSIONS!

REMNANTS OF BLISS WILL

HURT YOUR MORE THAN REVULSION!

DAMN AND ABHOR!

NO ABSOLUTION!

THERE'S JUST ABYSS OF

YOUR OWN WAR!

Demons you hide - they consume me!

Failings denied - rage within me!

Fall through this maze of insecurity

Is wasting me!

Frustrations I bleed - you won't face them!

Doubts you have freed - I embraced them!

Sickness and chains of this impurity,

They're morphing me!
