Naming Bandages

My lies have taken everything I loved My mind is fuelled by the pain I trust My fingers turn everything into dust My heart avenges loss through use of lust Anger will tell me that the world’s to blame Fear will forget it took my mind away Desire will tell me that it’s pointless But the liar will realise it’s another day My eyes see everything in red and white My friends all look like my favourite night My words are tuning all within my sight What’s left now is everything I try to fight Despair comes and tells me it’s a tragedy Denial turns away the sight of me But pain stares and know that it’s all pointless This is just the way it has to be
