You are the name, trapped between my liars lips
You are the sensation of scars
Bumpy under my fingertips

You are the memory of a dream
Faded and out of focus
You are the noose of reality around my neck
Choking me

You are the fire in my icy shell
Cracking my shelter
You are the monster under my bed
Pulling me into a nightmarish helter skelter

But I
I am the flame
The spark
The memory of all those twisted things in the dark
I am the calm of the storm
But the eye of the hurricane
And I loved you and I loved you
I painted it for all the world to see
With blood from my thighs
And tears from my eyes
But you weren't looking at me
