no escape, pain is great

poisoned are my blackened lips
as i trace you with my finger tips
i slowly drain you of your pain
and I lay you out in the rain

i see no light on your face
just the darkness that you taste
the ivy wraps so tightly around your waist
as the earth bounds you to this place

i paint pretty pictures of you and me
even though its obviously not meant to be
i cut these vines that bind me to you
just so you believe that we're through

i cover my heart and close my eyes
i'm not going to watch another love die
i'll run, run from you and run from this
i won't let you drown me in momentary bliss

you so easily unwrap yourself and make your great escape
so i see that we are no longer entwined by this deadly fate
you smile your wicked grin
your eyes are filled with centuries of sin

i poison you
you cut through
the bone and the chest plate
ripping me apart
i'm sorry heart, i was to late...
