Rhymes revolve when you're around
Wrapping tendrils through my brain
Running verses into ground
Renewing words that clear your rain

My chest of ash
And hopeless dreams
In anger burned
In spite of meat

My flaming heart
And heated head
Defiance fed
A sparking wish

Keep the devil on my shoulder
And your wisdom in my ear
Counteract the ignorance
And poisonous refrains

Bend an ear to every rebel
Every sacrilegious mirror
Tally all the benefits
Of every "betters" gain

Recalled a certain thrill          
At hate for a hypocrisy        
A smirk for sacrilege          

And wonder all along            
It's just the pluck of memory
A thread of this in me            

A narrow path is mine  
In rows of dolls, they string in line
No righteous face in time

The south is fading
And grasses grey
The thistles pale
All minds they stay

Did Earth feel slighted
For Her credit due
She turns our lives so carefully
For praises sparse and few

I'll never wed
That common expectation never met

And mother said
If only I had chosen someone else

In secret smiled
Oh, dearie, it is never quite that dire

You see, I lied
It's you alone, the reason that I hide
