Not My Life, Yours

Captured, bamboozle and victimized, by fear

Trapped in your night-mare

Killed, in your hands

Your weapon twisted in my soul

Captured in this murder

Bamboozle for love

Victimized in words

Poor soul, muddled

Due to our crime

Life-blood, scatter in dirty hearts

Flooding our laziness

Have nothing to say

Murder on my hands

So sad, I cry

It's your life, not mine

This is very strongly expressed, Delilah. There is a feeling of haunting revenge where love is at stake. I give you a top rating. // paul
