Swollen Eyelids

Let me give a glimpse
Of my mind
Satan in my casket
She wears a red dress
With a smile that blinds
The logic inside
I confide
A summer night
I was high
          Should have said it then
But if I reminisce
           It'll change to blood
This burns my sternum
Cupid's eyes glisten
I confide
I shot him
I stabbed him twice
He was already dead  
Decayed by my touch

I admit
I need to give it a rest
Too young to love
       Younger to trust
The hills have eyes
Swollen eyelids
The drugs help me get by
As I confide the lies inside

Let me give you a glimpse
Inside of my mind
Paranoia, broken mirrors
Red fountains, swollen eyelids
Casket for my soul

Now listen closely
Time for my favorite lullaby
                              Goodbye
                           Goodbye
Say it again
You'll need to read this twice
Before you realize what's inside

I blame it on the drugs
It's all in my head
This is how close that it gets
No longer a bliss
Hence the swollen eyelids
I tried to resist
               A fatal miss
No denying what was once there
But I must give in to rest
Stand above the grave
That I dug
With my name etched in the stone
Beautifully
I'll place cupid's carcass
Where I'm meant to lay
Cupid, once my friend
But it's time to close my eyes
Say goodbye
The drugs will take care of the rest
