The Face of Broken Shadows

No more lies, no more broken promises
Each false word directed at me, just strips me of yet more apathy 
Keep you your deceitful smiles and fictitious kisses 
And just stay away from me, you’re nothing but a predator you see

The rage, it builds up deep within 
Stalk the dark like a cat each night, dripping with a voracious appetite
But there is no way you're getting under my skin
Your egocentric wallowing in delight, is about to end abruptly tonight

The face of broken shadows stalks the ground
Now I don’t worry about life any more, now this quiet cat finds its roar
Tomorrow is the hunt for a life profound
You pathetic mewing I will choose to ignore, for now I am free forever more

I like this, seems like you got out alot of vent up anger with this one? I'm glad you've let a bad situation make you stronger!
