Evil

I dance whilst you scream Lost my feelings now Dreamed away somehow I know how it seems Though it fades away Inside my mind it stays I spoke out of line To myself I told I had lost a hold Now lies were not mine Hate without a tone Throw the pain like stones Sell me something to take my thoughts away They fuel my will and burn down my world Give me something that takes away my dreaming Each day of waking up I live somewhere different But I signed up to this The devil fed me fear Forced me to be in here I’m part of a list Other names exist But I shroud them in mist Show me something that doesn’t turn and kill me I know that happiness must balance into hurting Just teach me something that I can hold on to Something that I can believe and so I have something to die for I grew up dying, this cynic lost his reasons Everything I love will only keep me here longer I grew up trying, but there’s no more reason to pretend now How can I be what you want when I want to be nothing? Poisoned, broken, a god of the elusive I see you step around and seek your peace Alone I’ve spoken, I find you intrusive I know just what you want, so now I’ll show you the mirror
