"Vicious Verse" (16 July 2007)

I've Been Searching For Her
She Use To Always Be There
Her Scent Slowly Fading
Her Memory Swept Away
Does She Answer To Her Name
Does She Have The Same Face
From My Fingers
The Smoke Drags In Strands
Left With Empty Hands
A Lonely Shadow Painted On The Wall
A Hollow Silhouette Waiting For The Fall
Illusion Embedded In Webs Of Debt
Across The Ralleys Of Valleys
To The Center Of Earth
Take The Set Of Stairs
Through The Mirror
And I Still Can’t Find Her Anywhere
I Call I Shout I Scream
I Search Awake
I Search In Dream
All The Way To The Root
An Inept Pursuit
Arrived To The Middle Of Nowhere
Nothing There, Just Dead Air
Empty Despair Beyond Compare
I Am Completely Lost
But If I Keep My Fingers Crossed
The Path Will Be Revealed
I Maintain My Eyes Peeled
Finally The Answer Unsealed
I Take My Empty Hand
And Make A Fist
And When I Open Again
There The Key Exist
Behind Me The Mirror Reforms
A Small Key Hole In The Middle Transforms
Head On With This Glass Display
But My Reflection So Far Away
Like A Warning Ever Distant
Ignore, I Remain Persistent
Turn The Key And The Mirror Shatters
The Shards Fly In And Through Me
Like Liquid Mercury, The Pieces Splatter
Stuck Forever And Ever, Solitary Endeavor
I'm Left All Alone
Far From Home
An Unknown Zone
Wasting My Time In Love With An Illusion
My Blood My Fortune
With The Mirror Mercury, Begins The Fusion
In The Stained Dirt Like Italian Vermouth
There, Spells My Final Terminal Truth
Blurry Vision, Stay Awake, I Must
Maintain Conscious
The Blood Forms A Phrase
Lean Closer, Fight The Haze
The Most Vicious Verse
Etched In The Earth
Regretfully Aloud I Deplore
"She Never Loved You", And Nothing More
