D A M N A T I O N
a lament.
Blood runs
Spirit burns
Heads turn
Then look away again
(I've forgotten)
Moon glows
Agony throes
No one knows
Except the night and you
(What it's like)
Harsh mistress
Callous blisters
Ragged fissures
Scrawled across your skin
(To look)
Day breaks
Body aches
Limbs quake
In the aftermath of sin
(At the moon)
Dumb and blind
Stumbling behind
Follow the line
Until you've perfected normality
(and smile;)
Scent beguiles
The girl smiles
"Stay awhile"
And her eyes outshine the moon
(She's beautiful.)
Nights pass by
Chasing fireflies
Echoing cries
Of the demons fade away
(But forgetting)
Full moon again
Bones bend
Teeth tear skin
To make way for the beast inside
(is all that)
Familiar burning
Strange yearning
Humanity warning
That you shouldn't go out tonight
(I can do)
Colors fade
Moon-made
Escape, evade
The pull of conscience at your mind
(And stay)
Out of time
Out of your mind
Prey to find
Out of the self-made cage, you're free
(sane.)
Last chance
Creep, advance
One glance
Is all it takes; she runs
(Is it not)
Blood sprays
No one prays
Silent gaze
Wondering why it has your eyes
(ironic that)
Moon overpowers:
Flesh devoured
Bones scoured
Full of sin and salt, you sleep.
(she would be)
Daybreak again
Human again
Alone again,
You awake to the taste of her flesh
(the only one)
No one there
No one to care
No one to stare
As your soul is ripped in two
(to witness)
Mind breaks
Body aches
Soul quakes
As you remember her smile and scream.
(my damnation, and stay?)
