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
