(This is the one I love and I will not destroy her. Still I see her bleeding in my mind. And in my heart I know her d**h will destroy me.) Now crumbles these dreams Now hear my haunted screams Now humble yourself before what I say Now soon this lust becomes a hunters heart And you and I the prey Eyes turned down in shame(and back) Too disgraced to shift the blame Wedge into my ears dried blood Burn my spirit with your souls fire My skin it decays as I walk this wire Wade through the lake of dead souls Now think of me as a brittle cage Do you need a love to sanctify, or innocence to crucify, how about me Take my fingers one by one and slowly break them Take my palms, then take two nails and drive them through my skin Your eyes your hate testify to me Your words are desperate, plagued by anguish, set free Now it awakens from deep within A blossoming flower of self hatred Watered by our sin...and trying to over grow me once again. (I guess it's too late to mumble a prayer for you now. How about if I cry for you forever now? I pray that you can forgive me that I might forgive myself someday.) (C)1998, Vert/Michael A.
