Those twisted hands are making me
Contorting, reassuring that I am now caught
A web of chaos so untangles
I know I cannot flee
What I cannot see, I can believe
For you have proven easily
We're all in this evenly
I'll place my bet on black
As vapor touches lip
You've got your mirrored words
As nightfall doth descend
Another man you've got him slipped
Wrapped tightly 'round your finger
I'll bring you down with me
As far as bottom goes
Grinning menacingly as thieving folds
A secret kept, just you and I
I won't live in your dreams
Violent mistress
Serpent tongue, jagged teeth
A shark let loose to feast
Defecation sent slipping
Through my ears it seeped
My razors just for you
A slice in every word
Come, slithering
This place is for you
What beauty I've created
The light fixtures illuminating a sample of your corpse
The ribcage pulled back as though wings
Two lungs heaving deep breaths of poison
Exhaling the lies you've fed to me
My mouth does surely salivate
As your entrails roll away
A kiss from me to you, my dear
You've made your last mistake
Manicured nails ripped at the cuticle
To be treasured on a necklace
French braids shaved and burned
Cigarrettes put out on flesh
I'll take you to the grave
Eyes greyed as though blind
Mouth agape, teeth bent to grind
Emptied of blood, addicted to touch
You're now bruising skin burnt under the sun
The sweetest of deaths
Butterflied nectar inside your hull
Powering madness of stories untold
Spread eagle I've placed you inside your empty hole
Six feet of soil compacting your soul
