Beginning and the End
I’m sitting back and letting days slip by
The window stares and shows me so much hate
My heart still fades as I resent its lies
I disappear as there’s nothing left to hide
Holding me away from hurting you
I could bring you pain and burn you up inside
There’s still a part of me I think is true
But if I looked I know I’d shoot you through
The dark in me has claimed another day
The things I see are begging me to stay
The lies I hear still tell me it’s ok
But to be free I’ll screw it all away
The light is false, I know because I saw
The space above is just a natural whore
Without the dark there’s no such thing as law
The light I see is a reaction and a door
I’m taking you apart
I’ll get inside your heart
I’ll bet you feel so smart
I’ve screwed your mind and taken you to the start
I’ve taken me apart
I am inside my heart
I am my work of art
I’ve screwed my mind and I must now restart
