You Were Always There, Behind My Back

you were always there, behind my back women a receiver a concealer a deceiver you did what you did while i bled among the dead what follows must be read this is what you said Welcome to my world you lost the toss and now i am your boss all that you lost is the cost of the frost unwelcome and cold do what you told follow the gold for me to enfold follow the gold follow the gold now hollow back to back you must swallow the final attack drown down in the shallows on your back a weight you lack it is the fate you create to wait at the gate the glass you cannot permeate please go please go please
