Bounty the heads of the stoic and strong
Cold to the bone though you know you are wrong
Laughing with the glee at the suff'ring of others
Too bad that's not how you steal others lovers
Pressure so mighty that surely you've cracked
Sanity so broken its not coming back
Building, surmounting, you idle for pleasure
But race for a chance to claim its just good measure
Butcher and glutton a swine is your pride
Taking, not giving, they plead with their eyes
Empty the pockets and open the wine
The blood, when it rains
Does it blind your eyes?
Stolen, unbroken, and reforged to mount
Seldom dispensing the justice you tout
Guilty or not,  they all face the swing
Star-crossed lovers? You'll let them sing
Tender words dance,  at his faithful breath
Knowing a sin he never could commit
Oh how you laughed? Mocked him with glee
Burning and lynching is enjoyed in degrees
Torment inside and you long for the gallows
The home that you've known since your loves been so shallow
Your stricken with glee when the families flee
And maddened with haste when the court files a case
Your only friends are those who shall end
A hangmans brittle heart, formed to a boulder
No regrets in killing no penchant to set free
"It's following orders" now "It's truly me."

Lovesick whimsy
Pleasures tendrils
Threat-e-ning to choke you up
You dance in merriment
Ignore the words he said
Let your demons eat you up

Curve the wording, midnight slurring
Dance around his every thought
Matchsticks burning, light is purging
Take a chance or call a loss

Tipsy Turning so discerning
What is best is what you want
Ever learning, self concerning
En-slave-ment a price you flaunt

Copacetic, it's heretic
Sell your soul for every jaunt
Do you want her? Then you'll have her!
The paupers woe is she who taunts

Mischief brewing, time consuming
Face the wrath of what you bought
All those misfits, showing midriff
She's the one that knocks you off

Divine doting from an enamored beast of a man
Careful whispers hints so giving yet he failed to meet demands
Oh consuming, faith he's hewing, raving crowds yet he's so mad
Tempered wisdom, pride to give some, burning guilt that won't go out
Fill the cups of all the need, y then tip yours and feel a drought
Expose white lies, compose these ties, bind them all to fall in line
Devise a prize, grand for all eyes, sell them it for just their lives

Looping, breaking, fallout healing
Dropping bombs to spread your faith
Deepen holes to sink your meaning
Fill them up with dreams so great
Thirsty, Hungry, never full you claim to give and yet you break
Tenderness at every turn but soon you fail to fill your plate
Snapping jaws that give no freedom, dance with powers far too great
Overzealous, minions pining, hold your tongue and yet they kneel
Power growing, so foreboding! The priest will now take your appeal

Confess dark arts, ******, remarks
Take them all and give no clout
Burden wary, truth is scary!
When you leave, your demons shout

Take what's on your mind and desecrate the vows you spoke
From behind you plunge your knife through the neck bone and the throat
Hurtful words like daggers glimmer to a petty thief
You hunger for the love so pure yet act on your release
So unnerving, disconcerting, every time you seek to heal
Futures burning, you're not learning, chance at last you've failed to see
Giving up hope, lost, then behold, once again you draw your lines
Hurt so boldly, lash out grossly, learn to leave your pain behind
Practiced preaching, you love teaching, learn your lesson one last time
Love is unsung, hearts are not fun, let them go like sour wine  
You claim to have it, claim to know it, claim a skill you've yet to find
Trust is brewing, you're a mewling, turn of phrase won't make them yours
Lost in dark arts,  forgo each part, break the spell and free your mind
See the evil, see your ego, see the thing that makes God's doubt
Unforgiving, yet so willing, sacrifice the adepts heart
Break his tethers, do his bidding, you will seek your own devout
No consumers, all producers, soon you'll find that hate grows clout
Learn the lesson, take this blessing, give to her freedom from the doubt.

Does it get you high, When you see her cry
Do you want to throw away her heart?
Cut her feelings loose, make her want the noose
Are you getting more complete now?
Is that liquor good? Put you in the mood?
You really can't stand her when you're sober.
Ever gave a thought? To your ignorance?
How you're wasting her,
Time
Moves so slowly when we, dance around your room
The secrets that you owed me coming, pouring out your wounds
I'd never stoop so low, but carry on and I'll steal her from you
I'd never stoop so low, but carry on and I'll steal her right from under you

Don't lie to a liar cause chances are he made you do it,
Language has no etiquette you breathe in life to words congruent
Silver tongued devils pale in sickness when compared to Midas speakers
Turning each word to gold, they build a church on addiction

Praying is the selfish act of begging someone else to cure your own afflictions
and a hollow verse will lead you to the passive life decisions
That will never save your home, just make you wait for answers never coming from a tome

And I've never met a creature that I'd put above myself
But I've never met a creature that could ever escape death
I'd appreciate a message that I didn't have to ask for
A little hint of tolerance, I swear you're not an *******?
A simple kind word that requires no self doubt
I can almost hear the slander that you're dripping out your mouth
Was there ever any motive? Do you support your own behavior?
Does carving lies into her heart justify you as her savior?

Hold yourself to my standard, does your brain fail to connect
Or is every time you see you're wrong you default to reject
A notion that we're all alone be it in life or in death
But just because it's not your wish, you come straight at my neck?

Tell her that you love her, cause you know she'll let you in
You never even knew her, you just knew she loved to sin
Cupid notched his arrow but then forgot to aim
Now that she's so broken, will you even take the blame?
Needlessly you stir around your poison in her brain
It's leaking through her faded eyes so jaded from the pain
A simple smile to her feels fake that's proof you've left a stain slowly dripping down her ***** like the roses at a grave
Did you ever want a lover?
Were you looking for a slave?
How could you lead her down a road that you never meant to pave?
Was every word and moment spent just all part of your game?
Why she'd never trust again, would you care to explain?
