Vengeance

Blood in my site as I go for the kill
Better calm down and take another pill
All the rage surges through as I lose control
The minute I black-out I could lose my soul
Negative reinforcement saturates my mind
Leaving all the crushed up pieces behind

Destruction reigns upon me, seeking to destroy it all
I know once I’m done you can only want to fall
Left in the wake you will only feel the burn
Just the idea of it can make your stomach churn
The image of taking you down sends pleasure to my brain
Best not to mess with me for this terror I will reign

I have you in my vision and I keep a close eye
When you try to sneak away I’ll say, “nice try…”
I’ve got you in my clutches, I’ve got you where I want
I’ve trapped you in a frenzy, a place where I can taunt
Don’t you try to run, don’t you try to hide
This revenge is bitter sweet and no one is on your side

You make my bones ache and my body squirm
I would love to knock you dead and make your life short term
I can hardly believe you have any life at all
I know that you can't achieve anything more than a cat call
Pathetic and pointless you are, just wait and see
I laugh in this ugly face of yours because you are nothing compared to me

The moment is righteous the minute I strike 
Time slows down to bask in the glory
The time is now for something to like
The scene is oh so gory
I don’t have to make it up by submitting to a penance
I’m just glad I have made you suffer with my vengeance

Vengeance might make one "fufilled", but just for a short while...
