I've spent a lifetime chasing you Sweet temptress Captor of my clenched black heart My temptress You left me with a broken and battered face Sordid temptress It's my mouth that fuels your thirst Divine temptress You're a sneak and a sinner Evil temptress I'll bleed for you no more

Drag Me Through the Mud
The widow of a man who gouged his eyes out to spare himself the burden of authenticity is seated comfortably among the distressed. Unchanged is how she remains. If it's truth they want she'll feed it to them with a ***** spoon.

Shell of a Human Being
When darkness finds you It never lets go A hold tighter than a noose I cannot see myself anymore If you blow I will break A running whisper Turns into a tasteless joke Fail me and you will fail too

The Unbecoming
The shrinking violet that's what I be Tucked away in the murkiest of dreams Slipping out of the back door consistently No one sees me, I'm an anomaly

The Escapist
What people don't know is what they fear the most. Be kind, be open, be secure with your own thought. Don't buy what this world is selling. If it has a price tag, it's not going to soothe the soul. The wealth of inconsistency is intended to confuse.

Look Harder
Elegant body with wilting eyes If you don't know you How can anyone know you They will only consider What they have been told They'll have it out for you Oh yes they always do Sneering and jabbering Judge you and misuse you Be strong being of beauty Or the ignorance of others Will damage your subtle mind

Target Practice
Every time that noose tightened I grew more and more frightened Bearer of back breaking weight Bones chafed left in a weak state Taken and took rattled and shook You've become the wicked crook Thief of my beloved memories

Nostalgic Nightmare
Looking for peace in a strangers embrace Have I become a disgrace? Living in poor taste Am I so feeble That I must rely on other people Where is the doctor when I need her? Prescribe me a pill to help me fulfill All that I desire to be

Dialogue with Myself
Conjure up the theory Of life without a vice The feeling of purity It cannot be beat No one to loathe no candles to hold Where love is complete For the company we keep No missing bits from which to bleed I am a unit, an undivided entity

The Magician
Standing under stormy clouds as they pour rain Washing my thoughts down filthy a drain This is where I find myself invisible They can no longer see my physical Tucked away, this energy no longer gleams It's gotten lost inside my illogical dreams
