Thousand Yard Stare

Trampled in this tangled foil of mesmerizing youth
Likened to the vipers gaze whose prey it then consumes
Drink the poison from the ivy till it makes a new
Wake then now a monster, villain, that lives inside of you...

Cradled cornered cuddled mess with eyes that cut through steel
Seduce this simple minded fool to make believe what's real
Kiss with lips so ravenous it stops a beating heart
Continue piercing through this body till it breaks apart...

A shadow burdened toiled and tried amidst the makers pew
Knelt against the one who lied with anger as his fuel
Spoil the candles rich and poor so sad it's come to this
Deliberate lies, persistent tries, yet no one can resist...

I catch your gaze with squinting eyes, awake before we sleep
Warm my core again once more, because these rays run deep
Lift my head up to the clouds and breathe the summer rain
Renew and wash this wretchful soul to relieve me of this pain...

Even though this side exits I've never thought I'd learn
Her eyes reflect the lies of the image that i earned
So curse my name and tear apart the shadows in my heart
Look again once more my friend, your end is now the start.
