I love thee.
You say that like it’s a good thing.
As though you don’t know what it implies
Or that it twists me and the knife deeper inside
I feel so numb, I can barely breath
I try to vent and set the focus
Only there’s something blocking
Blocking the perfect picture I mean to seize
But you, you just can’t see
That what you do just messes with me
I don’t mean to stress the point
But it’s not petty problems in my eye
You’ll be the destroyer of me
With your infantile trickery
When you say “I love thee.”

Something more.
All these dark dreams and I don’t even know what they mean
I can’t help but walk through such troubling scenes
Scenes of such violence and ignorant prejudging
Timid naked steps on open frozen ground
Winter’s cold brutal touch is evident in this new found mystery
No tears will be wasted on this venomous tragedy
But it’s not the hate or pathetic fallacy
That draws me continuously to this deed…
You see there’s something deep within me
A deep aching hunger to be complete
I’ve tried all the cures and remedies
Yet burning asunder it never leaves...

I will walk away.
This isn’t a game
It’s your life on the turning table
I won’t be mean and trick you twice
But heed this as my warning.
You won’t get another
And they don’t come in plenty
I’m going to find you
Hunt you down.
Treat you like the animal you rightly are
And dissect your filthy heart.
But first…
First I’m going to put you on your knees
Make you plead
Take your dignity with utter glee.
Second…
Second I’m going to plunge this dagger in your unsuspecting back
sparkling dagger you put in me
With it’s past bloodied handle dried...
It’s your life on the turning table
I won’t be mean and trick you twice
But heed this as my warning.
You won’t get another
And they don’t come in plenty
I’m going to find you
Hunt you down.
Treat you like the animal you rightly are
And dissect your filthy heart.
But first…

Take your dignity with utter glee.

It's a funny twisted thing after all.
I want to stab
Stab you in the stomach
Stomach that can you?
You the one who broke my heart
Heart in a thousand puzzle pieces
Pieces on the ground
Ground for you to step all over
Over and beyond my control
Control, who has it now?
Now I do
Do you regret it now?
Now that I take the blade
Blade sharpened to kill
Kill the animal
Animal you became
Became a cold aching pain
Pain is what you’ll feel
Feel it just as I did
Did you know that’s how much you hurt me?
Me the faithful follower
Follower you have lost...
Stab you in the stomach
Stomach that can you?
You the one who broke my heart
Heart in a thousand puzzle pieces
Pieces on the ground
Ground for you to step all over

Now that I take the blade
Blade sharpened to kill

Animal you became
Became a cold aching pain
Pain is what you’ll feel
Feel it just as I did
Did you know that’s how much you hurt me?

Black rose.
Black rose, black rose
Don’t hurt me like you did yesterday
I won’t show childish naivety and be forgiving
I’ve grown and learnt and changed within
Though your beauty is deadly
With petals that tease me
Your embrace a risk
I won't be caught and tangled in your web
I can't ignore your cruelty equal to the misbehaving dead
The pain you caused me has lost it's pleasure
Placid sweetness and luring lies
I can't believe I didn't pull free of you long ago.
I can believe I didn't pull free of you long ago
Placid sweetness and luring lies...
Don’t hurt me like you did yesterday
I won’t show childish naivety and be forgiving

I can't ignore your cruelty equal to the misbehaving dead

The price.
She'll soon know pain
But what is there to gain?
When you feel the real fear pulsing through her veins
Her tainted soul, her salvation her curse
The collision is coming, for that we are sure.
Future stolen, hate of the world, embraced by darkness
For God’s sake! Hold on tight, make your knuckles turn white
Don't let go of what you think to be reality
For she's coming for you, you have no place to run.
You hurt her, now pay the price
She looked up to you, a shining god,
A martyr, a saint,
You took that trust and...

Bed time.
Just as the tempted are tempted, the hungry fed,
The sinners will dread and the little monsters are put to bed,
Tomorrow you’ll wake and see only the end.
Don’t cry baby, it’s just you
Those demons aren’t from under your bed
But from inside your head
Those dancing shadows, that wicked smiled devil
They all share your wide open comfy bed
Tearing and sharing your spirit too.
Sharing is caring baby, don’t be disturbed, don’t try to escape
Oh go ahead - leave the confines of that busy bed
But know this, they will follow you until you are brain dead.
The sinners will dread and the little monsters are put to bed,
Tomorrow you’ll wake and see only the end.
Don’t cry baby, it’s just you
Those demons aren’t from under your bed
But from inside your head
Those dancing shadows, that wicked smiled devil
They all share your wide open comfy bed
Tearing and sharing your spirit too.
Sharing is caring baby, don’t be disturbed, don’t try to escape
Oh go ahead - leave the confines of that busy bed
But know this, they will follow you until you are brain dead.

That flower was me.
I had the audacity to believe you pure
Now open that dusty box to find my poor heart
My heart that bleeds, now broken in halves
One half for you, one for me
I’ll be your precious pawn no more.
I remember just as you do
The flower that bloomed just because of you
The petals of fidelity, the stem of strength
Now I can see beyond the pretend
Your magic has lost it’s hold on me.
Let the flower disintegrate
Let the softness curl and crisp black
I don’t care and I see now that neither do you.
The thorn pricked blood just as you...
Now open that dusty box to find my poor heart
My heart that bleeds, now broken in halves
One half for you, one for me
I’ll be your precious pawn no more.
I remember just as you do
The flower that bloomed just because of you
The petals of fidelity, the stem of strength
Now I can see beyond the pretend
Your magic has lost it’s hold on me.
Let the flower disintegrate
Let the softness curl and crisp black
I don’t care and I see now that neither do you.
