Cyclic

Disguising things on puppet strings Let me go please, let me go I’m pulled straight out of my mind My twisted affliction a sadistic addiction An unsolvable encryption as wants become needs It burns and it bleeds All the thorns and the weeds begin to grow and spread seeds Uncontrollable urges as the energy surges And the enemy merges inside Truth became lies and the divinity died Forever is gone in a day What once held so dear now crippled in fear Is carelessly thrown far away What kept my heart fed lays bleeding deep red While sinister smiles ahead The engine keeps running So swift and so cunning It is done before I realize it’s dead I thought I might cry to see this heart die Nothing is felt here instead For before it was done the enemy won And darkness had swallowed the sun I see no more light only darkness and night With serpents that slither and bite When I get up to fight their coils get tight Breathing becomes shallow and slight And as I lay panting the demons are chanting Chasing my sweet dreams away
