Immaculate flaws haunting silent cries
Bittersweet nightmares could pass as dreams
I'm right on the edge, either jump or soar
I could hit the ground running, nothing is as it seems

Swollen with green, the monster within
Scars bursting with maggots of the past
Feasting with glee on my memories
Silence breeds violence, how long will this last

Rotting stench spews with venomous speech
Cutting the hair of a maiden so fair
Peel away skin so you've never felt
Without that embrace I'd never care

That spark lights my body, singe my soul with absence
Pull these knives from my back and break up the bread
Our last meal is shrouded in passionate poison
Carry on that mission to break me instead
