Iniquity

Love, why do you make my heart bleed?

It leaks thick red plasma that stains on my fingers

As I try to conceal the pain and hide it deep within

My own two hands reach up and take my breath away

 

The lies you speak catching in my lungs

Forget keeping appearances, I'm suffocating

The answers seem so clear

As I gasp for air

 

In shock I stare down at my hands in horror

As I find they are replaced with your own

This sudden display leaves me in disbelief

I don't want to see all the truth coming up to smother me

 

I wasn't smart enough to stay away

From those treacherous arms that promised safety

As they had planned from the beginning

To clench around my throat and liquidate all my strength and glory

 

Before we even said our first hello's

You planned the end before we began

Love, I will make your heart weep

What you give out comes back to you

 

I will get you on your knees

Begging for forgiveness

Till they become bruised and give out

I will break you down before you dare to believe you've won

 

If you are iniquity think of me as your karma,

You will never win
