With the rupturing of the body

And splitting of veins

I unleash pain

Wrapped in chains

 

I’ve taken each desperate pleasure

And wrapped in a beautiful measure

 

My skin destroyed by naïveté

Breaking my bones

And crippling my day

 

Inside my body is engaged

Poison on my wedding finger

My body ends the battle

Asking to be enraged

 

I cling to the temperature

Warmed by a vision

And cooled with a light

 

I lost every battle

Weakness and strength

Power and might

 

Almost drained by a perception

That my life is complete

Dripping with confession

 

Inside my body is engaged

Poison on my wedding finger

My body ends the battle

Asking to be enraged

With the rupturing of the body

And splitting of veins

I unleash pain

Wrapped in chains
