Heaven Wouldn't Take Me, Hell Didn't Want Me

They all watch me turn the corner,

eyes following,

and they all look so hungry.

Their jealousy and lust

may be justified,

'cause I've got more beauty than they could ever have.

But inside, behind this studied mask

of moody concentration,

I'm laughing at their starving eyes.

So maybe I look like a piece of heaven,

but I'm just a fallen angel.

If they all knew

that it was I who thirsted,

that I lusted after

every drop of their blood,

wouldn't they run?

Wouldn't they notice

how red my downcast eyes have become?
