The Cage
Now here I lay
A beast
Laid low
Before
The devouring chasm of time
Arms bent back
Yield
To wild-eyed despair
The bars of my cage
Warp with every breath
Ashen hand
Beckons
Guide me to the door
Unseeing eyes
Of blood-black treachery
Time won't move for me
I am nailed
To the floor
Stone upon stone I have buried myself
Under a mountain of shame
Terraformed in your name
For a drop of affection
Poured forth from poison cup
For a love that kills me slowly
For a rain that never comes
A beast
Laid low
Before
The devouring chasm of time
Arms bent back
Yield
To wild-eyed despair
The bars of my cage
Warp with every breath
Ashen hand
Beckons
Guide me to the door
Unseeing eyes
Of blood-black treachery
Time won't move for me
I am nailed
To the floor
Stone upon stone I have buried myself
Under a mountain of shame
Terraformed in your name
For a drop of affection
Poured forth from poison cup
For a love that kills me slowly
For a rain that never comes
