Atrocity of Society

Topsy turvey
Truth-filled lies
Honor bound
'Til justice dies

Colored tops spin raggedly
Age-worn voice sings lullabies
Photos made in black and white
Kill the birds of paradise

Baby dolly's broken eye
Glass strewn everywhere
Pick the pieces up, say I
Bury them in underwear

Needles dancing in my flesh
Painting me a scene
You and me just seem to mesh
The way it is supposed to be

Put your arm around me, darling
Hold me close and tight
Keep me safe until the morning
This just feels so right

Right and wrong are just illusions
Atrocities of society
Handcuffs burn like tiny suns
Quick is the death of gaiety

Put me on the headsman's block
Read to me from Psalms
Please, my darling, be my rock
Cut your name into my palms

Cloudy skies weep endlessly
Drowning me in night
My heart is beating relentlessly
This just doesn't feel right

You broke my heart, you silly boy
So now I'll cut out your's
You'll be my favorite, my only toy
We'll dance to the music of the waves and shore

Sing to me just one more time
I need to hear your voice
I didn't mean to commit this crime
It was not my choice

I'll love you for eternity
Let's seal it with a kiss
Promise me no mutiny
When I kill you I won't miss
