|
thought you'd given me a special present |
|
a thing to have and hold |
|
and keep forever |
|
when the smoke had cleared |
|
the thing you left there |
|
wasn't a gift at all |
|
you tricked me |
|
it stripped me bare |
|
it stripped me bare |
|
painted(?) all your rooms |
|
with laughs and fanfare |
|
you stealed yourself away |
|
to cover the reasons |
|
once the latch came off |
|
your vision escaped you |
|
you faltered and you failed |
|
it gripped you |
|
it tripped you up again |
|
you fell again |
|
take it with you |
|
take it back and let me breathe |
|
i push your sickness away from me |
|
it feels my senses built a wall that i can't see |
|
i will your curse away from me |
|
rub your insides raw |
|
reaching for insight |
|
arrest your every pore |
|
and charge it with treason |
|
oh let the ill infect |
|
your best intentions |
|
a legacy of sores to bleed forever |
|
to bleed forever |
|
to bleed forever |
|
to bleed forever |
|
they'll bleed forever |
