Surreptitious
Malicious
and vain
It's all evident in the pain
you so despicably desire
Will you pounce or poison this time?
Hurry
Bury my hopes
Burn my dreams
My future is blurred
and you rip my seams
a waterfall of fire rushes down my face
as you scream, this is no race
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
You pull me into the tide and take me for a ride
You say,
Hush
come with me, it's all right
But you lied
You say you'll never leave
but you're only here to deceive
You're good at disguise
The trap door calls my name
It's so kind, so calm
But I won't fall, I won't submit
You think you can take me but that's just it
You warp my heart
but won't consume it
You say we make such a team, but that won't be
So go ahead
Scrape away at the lock
I won't surrender the key
