Laughter
Just as you did yesteryear
I wish I could cut you out
I now know a life without
You doesn't go into high gear
I gnawed your flesh away
While you demanded a refund
On my life it had me stunned
Not your angel you say
Well my thousand eyes opened
To see I came from marred flesh
So why expect my hide to be fresh
Its leathery but your hope and
Strife was felt regardless
What could this demon have been
If it ever were your kin
If you werent so heartless
Being who I am is my fault
You say you tried and failed
That my ship has long sailed
And I cannot ask it to halt
Left at shore to rip and tear
At the skin that brands me
Losing my tears in the roiling sea
Begging you to spare
Me the cruelty of your words
Of your look it burns
Please it hurts
Where is our history
Where are the memories
The shrill melodies
Where is my misery
It's gone but left grooves
In the mud of my skin
Whats left to do but grin
As you trample me with hooves
As you bite with fangs
You always had but deny
For no angel in the sky
Digs their teeth in lambs
Left for slaughter
Only sinking into beasts
Killing reserved for higher seats
And here I die to your laughter
Even after you've gone
