The Brighter Side of Terror

Act I
I can taste the murder on your tongue.
I feel the desertion of our hearts.
Wash it all away, wishing we could stay, trapped in the embrace,
Of two empty hearts, callous on our souls.

Bashing in the skin, corruption from within,
Abandon what is left, shattered by a love,
Betrayal from a kiss, how the arrow missed.

A promise of hopelessness is trapped inside
And the darkness remains after everything we tried...

A touch of light
Straighter than an arrow
Smaller than a pin prick
To break free from… this?

My skin is crawling to you, calling to you.
My soul fears this, wanting me to flee.

Act II
I feel my soul has ripped itself away,
As this keeps crawling towards me.
Shallow from the start, ripping me apart, seething from within,
Tearing at the veins, ‘til no hope remain, how did this begin?

Passions in the dark, lost in this embrace
Winding road we take, touch so gently now.
Spiral further down, until nearly drown.
Blood in rushing in, I am on the fringe.

Want it flooding me, until I cannot see
It grows stronger within me

My skin is crawling to you, calling to you.
My soul fears this, wanting me to flee.
My anger gives up wanting to give in.
Gently I cut my skin for you again.

Act III
We are under water now,
Trapped together here somehow.
Looking for a way, out of this embrace, from beneath the ice.
Attracted to the skin, tearing this apart, drowning in the rage.

Lines upon the skin, wishing we could stand, after all the cuts.
Searing at the hole, picking at the skin, tormented again and again,And again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again,
And again, and again, and… I’m still running away from…

I’m still running away from…
Searing at the hole, picking at the skin, tormented once again.
I’m still running away from…

I’m still running away from…
