Impaled upon a cruel god's glance
Trapped by all the force of chance...

As the dark of night closes in
Twilight's chill consumes my skin...

Slice off my ears, gouge out my eyes
So I can't see or hear these lies...

Ground like dirt beneath the heel
Trod upon with hater's zeal...

Once again it's come around another Valentine's...
so I thought I'd take some time so that I might...

Through darkest shadows in the night
Heart pounding with both lust and fright...

Why are we on the face of this earth?
This is a question oft asked...

Never have I been closer
Than I am today...

Why must everything hurt like this?
When comes my promised moment of bliss...

Tear off these illusions, rid me of these dreams
Let me see just how it is, instead of how it seems...

So many things I sit and wonder
Sit and write, sit and ponder...

Words can cause release, or hurt you so bad
They can end suffering or drive you mad...
