The Devil's Company
The taste of life brings me to my knees
The blood once thawed begins to freeze
And I lay my head in the hands of the devil
As I touch the sentiments on a different level
Longing to breathe without strain
Laying numb I compose this pain
Staring into the most deceptive eyes
Its my life I killed when I believed your disguise
You slapped my face with reasons of mine
Chose the tears and drew another line
Now color them red and paint my face gray
If I live we'll dispute my decisions another day
So I hold out my hands while my soul glows within
You laugh as black magic drains down my skin
Cremate my laughter and sew my lips shut
Pictures I saved burn the person you cut
Gather those ashes and dig a whole deep
Chain them in paper Im yours to keep
Wave at my name. its folded and aging
Through my lifes stairway Im solemnly paging
Crawling with strings sewn into my wrists
You move my arm with a twitch of your fists
