Let me lick my wounds,
Self inflicted or not,
They weren't mine,
Given to me they were by the demonic sounds
They burn like the blade that will forever boil;
These silver scars are all I have left,
So let me lick my wounds,
The wounds of my heart

My eyes are a darker brown,
Soiled with the horrors of reality
Cold to the core

My eyes hide in shadows,
Weaving lies of secrecy as they plot my next route to safety,
They calculate every move

My eyes are intriguing
The color not simple to tell
Their intentions not easy to see

These eyes shed tears,
They fight them to no avail
These eyes hold a darkness to them
These eyes show the hurt of accumulated pain


These eyes only show a beautiful gold of fiery hazel when the light hits them,
They show beauty and potential that has been long forgotten
They show the innocence thought to be gone

My eyes are dark and cold,
These eyes are difficult to understand
My eyes are cold and cunning,
These eyes are misunderstood
My eyes show pain and agony,
These eyes show a potential of beauty

Love may be wonderful,
But it's always let me down

Once more on opposite sides we meet.
Oh dear and kind mother, ready to show your claws?
I'm prepared to bare my fangs.

We lie to one another as we do to the world.
What is it we want?
What is it we wish?
A straight son?
A loving mother?
Prepare yourself. I will not lose this war.

Oh dear and lovely brothers,
Come to side with the woman of lies?
Fall into her webs.
You're just another prisoner of her mental labyrinth.
You too soon will fall.
The abyss that awaits you, I have escaped.
Know this, brothers of mine,
You're in the middle of war.

Time for the end don't you think, mother dear?
This battle has waged for a decade now.
Why not finish the war?
Weave your lies and and traps.
You fail to acknowledge the power I gained.
While you lie to people,
My honesty has triumphed in the end.
With crowds of honest people; their gentle hearts backing me up,
Do you believe you're a match against me?

Sharpen your knives, strengthen your lies.
I'll plot my moves, set up the chessboard.
This is a battlefield.
This is our story.
It's time for this legacy to come to an end.
Only one will leave this battlefield in the end.

These tears they burn my eyes
These shallow breathes make it hard to breath
All because you couldn't learn to accept me,
Now I'm on someone's couch trying to get back on my feet

I now get panic attacks,
And now my heart screams in agony
It doesn't hurt that you can't love me,
It hurts that I had to hurt you so that I could leave with my life,
It hurts that I had to break your bones so you couldn't break my neck

Finally this nightmare is almost over,
I never wanted to be the bad guy, just to be your son
Now I'm forced to battle you for my freedom

I'm sorry mother for what I must do,
But my swollen skin that your nails and teeth damaged have spoken,
You crossed the line, made me snap
No longer will I defend and protect you
Now you must pay for your mistakes
Because I no longer will be your punching bag

Please forgive me my mother,
I still love you, I always have,
But I must do what I must
I can never forgive you, I can't because I love you and you've damaged me enough, you're the reason why darkness stains my eyes
So forgive me my mother,
While you rot in your prison cell
Forgive me since you do not love me,
Because I will never forgive you since I love you

I was just showing my heart, it's like glass. It's cold, see through, and fragile. Push hard enough, and it will shatter. Shower it with light, and it will shine. Hide it in the dark, and it'll show your monsters.

I'll fight one day at a time,
Face one demon each day.
Until I get by,
I'll fight one day at a time.
