Acidic Lie
over your bed of molten wax
hover remnants of toxic black smoke
I feel your heat beneath my feet
feel my heart admit defeat
and all that I am melts away
as my bones turn an ashy grey
I know you’ll be my confession
in the aftermath of my obsession
I walk on the trail of sin
with my head buried in my chin
I dissolve with guilt from within
but your acidic lie keeps pulling me in
into the intoxicating lust of poison
in the deceitful eyes you’re imposing
my shoulders now slouched over
I surrender to your takeover
and as I lie dying next to you
your lustful eyes peering through
the misty covers of your hair
I bite the forbidden fruit of an affair
‘cos I walk on the trail of sin
with my head buried in my chin
I dissolve with guilt from within
but your acidic lie keeps pulling me in
and all those who know me
don’t know who I truly be
I try hard so, but it’s all in vain
to flush you out of my veins...
it's a self inflicted pain
of losing all of my life's gain
what I've deprived my true love
when I cut myself into two halves
‘cos I walk on the trail of sin
with my head buried in my chin
I dissolve with guilt from within
but your acidic lie keeps pulling me in
