Her heart bleeds

It is a basis for your heartfelt hunger so gaze
At the page at the faces of nameless…
You’re alone again
And this distortion is an apt replacement for
An unquenchable desire for more
More pages strewn across this sickening floor
I can’t look at any of this

If they saw what those eyes have seen

Oh how her heart it would bleed
If she only knew those abusive roots
And how the children would weep
If they only saw what those eyes have seen
It always keeps us longer than we wanted to stay
It always takes us further than we wanted to go
But you don’t seem to mind at the time

Begging to be set free…from what we were meant to be

Innocence

It’s inside you and your soul is longing, yearning
Pleading to be set free
Within your eyes, within my eyes, within our eyes
There could never be a more complete perversion of what we
were meant to be
And with all that is in me I hate this
As we’re sinking inside this ever-feeding illness
We are all quite silent
Sitting still
