If I endure this pain
For longer still
Would it make you happy
To watch me bend my natural will?
Bones can break and hearts may shatter
But my mind stays crumbling in its cage
Begging to be released
Mending itself nonetheless
They say that Angels live trapped on earth, suffering to be back in heaven.
Angels too pure for this world, will leave to return to purer lands.
I wish that were true, to tell myself there's somewhere for me to run to.
When I end my agony on Earth,
It will follow me.

You lay awake again tonight
Dreaming of whispered lies
Uttered in the darkest winter
When summer rolled around again,
Whispers flew away with the wind

'Truth will out', these words will haunt me.
My truth is nothing but bitterness behind watering eyes.
For my truth will shatter worlds as fragile as your heart.
My truth lies in each dreary hour, in every sleepless night.
Let my truth bind you, let it reel you in.
Make you powerless, uncomfortable in your skin.
Let my truth reveal your demons, realise your flaws.
Let my truth entice you, as my love withdraws.
My truth is nothing but bitterness behind watering eyes.
Truth will out.

If love is the measure of a man, then what is a man without love?
A man without love is a man without pain
A man without grief
A man without love is a man without responsibility
A man without humility
A man without love can do as he wishes, for he has not a care in the world.
If love is the measure of a man, I'd rather be unmeasurable.

Water burn me
Cascade down me
Scold me

Food comfort me
Fill me with regret
Consume me

Music haunt me
Surround me with grief
Befriend me

Knife blind me
Slash through this sorrow
Heal me

Black clouds are looming down
Whilst the sunlight pierces eyes
Walls crawl ever closer
Each face another disguise
Each muscle aching
Skin tingles with anticipation
Will you finally rest tonight?
Or will the morning draw closer with your desperation?

I know the secrets of the universe;
I fear you will deny the truth.
