A stranger to you but I've known you forever you're my flesh and blood You gave me this life and made me hate you for it The distance in years but time is a cloud and a whisper The anger gives way to a sickness for a home that I've never known Alien innocence Face down 'til you make me forget how to breathe Tongue tied so I bind you unwilling to me Fear not the voice of the serpent inside We'll stand still and pray for the storm to subside and leave us soon The fear of the dark no warmth in the arms of a monster A chemical contacts' course of incision Your fragile refrain the seconds they chisel our lives away like a sick circadian conundrum. Will you leave me alone again knee deep in hopeless despair? Will you waste your days in hiding haunted by memories of me? Finally your one shot and love but you blew it. Darling you failed failure And pain is all you have left
