heroin savior

 
cuts to the conscious and I see stars
bleeding epiphanies
crimson smiles are like bitter tears
I choke back the hollow laughter
a tell to my fear

hateful fate exorcise not my demons
inside of midnights, I shelter
specters find sanctuary within
my shadowy soul shines

spike to the vein, a heroin temple
there I met God, my demons fed
 I went to nod, there I found salvation
in his arms no longer the shame I'd become

still, phantom longings surface
and I find myself seeking you
I've hidden myself away

can you see the woman before you?

shaken and afraid
but vicious if provoked
