Steel

Darkness all around you And now here comes the night It’s all over but the crying And the last will you recite The litany still owns you And the demons in your bed But you are not what you do They desire lives only in your head Crimson streams that symbolize All the pain you can’t express But the poison never dries The proof still shines beneath that dress And you are not what they see Just as sick as the secret inside For as your soul screams out quietly To that secret you abide When you stare at your reflection And you try to see your soul Will you buy your resurrection? Or only watch the glass grow cold/ Because still, the ice cold steel Feels like magic on your skin And gives the strength to heal By pouring out your sin The lovely white on white Like blankets of Christmas snow Dance before your sight From years not long ago Secrets they betray The ones you long to keep But the white on white will stay What you have sown you must now reap The steel between your fingers Feels like heaven has arrived But as long as darkness lingers You will find the secret has survived And the demon that has faded Will grow stronger if you succumb The pain is the connection that you have made it Your salvation is your doom.
