I Will Be The Death Of You

Silence creeping upon our skin
A poison ever so gentle
You'll lose sight even if you hold my hand
That's just the way it goes

Sing all you wish my friend
The echo will never reach you
The rivers are silent and the trees struggle
For this poison twists them and turns them bare
Every breath they take is a quiet goodbye

Do you enjoy this place my friend?
The skies as red as rubies
With the moon on the slightest tilt
No sun or stars, simply the tarnished light

This empty plan is mine to command
As queen of the highest ruling
The birds and their skeletal forms
Bowing down before my sweeping soul
As my being spills past this shell

Do you know why we're here?
Why the skies are a ruby red?
And the moon a tilted goddess?
I know nothing of your kind
You know nothing of mine
But that is what we've sacrificed

Join me in my fantasy
Sacrifice yourself to me
Let your body become the earth
So the rivers may flow again
And the wind whisk my hair from me
The green plains soaring ever so high
For I will be the death of your shattered being

But will you ever understand?
As you close your eyes and run away
Back to your filthy reality
In which the birds have flesh and blood
Where the rivers are a boring blue
A broken imagination I have
Seeping into this reality of mine
It's people like you who cause this
The one's who rip the breath right out of me

Do as you wish,
For I will be the death of you
