To Faceless

5-26-14 You have tied my hands together Around the beam, behind my back I cannot escape I beg to be saved from this fate You are the only one to hear my screams I lost hope when you struck the match There was no going back All you want is for me to say your name The flesh is dripping down my skin Muscles flaming, searing Charred, but I cannot cave in I cannot let you win again If this is what I must succumb to If this is the only destiny I behold So be it Let my story be left untold You will not win again Your false smile convinced me once that you were my friend But it is you that must change! You are the empty one Show your face Lest you be blinded by my sacrifice and the light of the sun Pull down the hood and reconsider Your choice of words, let's not be so bitter You knew this was coming You knew you would lose Fight me or go quietly I permit you to choose
