Consumes me, controls me with a Poisoned passion that cracks my face Against the past; The horrors of my idiocy, the idiocy of My horrors, Falling and failing, falling further still From my fainthearted present toward Those broken, bitter, Love soaked memories. Takes me, betrays me, awakens me From my calm to reap my soul For lovers still held fast; In that pain of passions fire, The scars of youth; Beautiful but fading, fading faster still To a shadow of a hope once held fast In my reckless, Broken, love provoked yesterday.

Consumes me, controls me with a Poisoned passion that cracks my face Against the past; The horrors of my idiocy, the idiocy of My horrors, Falling and failing, falling further still From my fainthearted present toward Those broken, bitter, Love soaked memories. Takes me, betrays me, awakens me From my calm to reap my soul For lovers still held fast; In that pain of passions fire, The scars of youth; Beautiful but fading, fading faster still To a shadow of a hope once held fast In my reckless, Broken, love provoked yesterday.
