Pain

Crown on a child
Screaming in pain
Innocence defiled
Lost in the rain

There goes the stain
Washed down the gutter
Her cuts so plain
But she's not a cutter

Words a god did sputter
She is blind
Makes her heart flutter
When the contract is signed

With her soul on the line
She pulls the trigger
There's poison in the wine
Planted by a grave digger

Depression's got a figure
Despair has no sea
Mercy too bitter
To hear her pleas

Creeping is insanity
A shadow in the corner
Cursing humanity
is her

The rainbow of color
got washed away
Ran away for a dollar
Now it's only grey

Looking out for yesterday
A window of shame
Steps made of clay
A person with no name

A name rules the game
Everyone's a player
The winnings to claim
Too many to layer

Can't claim prayer
When stuck labelled sinner
Such a failure
Can't be a winner

She isn't a dreamer
With her thorny crown
She's looking for a killer
Dressed in a white gown

She does indeed drown
In her misery
Dressed like a clown
She feels empty

The owner of a century
Made her a crown
Made of treachery
To cover her frown

And the town
Forgot about the girl,
Her crown, the ground,
And the earl

Dressed with a pearl
Killer in a dress
Looking for a girl
Face distorted in distress

Because looking for
Someone you know
A murdering whore
Not knowing it is you, your foe
