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
|
