Dance With the Devil
Bring me a childhood to repair
To save and breathe life into
*** I'll take apart of my soul for a stranger
*** I'll break my bones and grind
*** Them to glue their life back together

Bring me those cherished memories
And I will cradle them back to health

Be warned, putting pieces this shattered
Will cost you a different kind of memory:
A moment in time that changed you
*** This seemingly perfect option
*** is nothing short of a curse

They smile
Even a well read lawyer will say yes
Why?
*** Weakness
*** Fear
*** Longing
*** Need
Simple!
They want to feel a pure memory again!
Filled with blissful ignorance!
*** Not really...
*** It's far more selfish
*** they won't see it as a curse until it's too late

Don't forget you payments
On the way out!
*** Let this take hold:
~ A moment of time that made
~ Them who they are
~ Let their childhood take
~ Root and forget everything before
~ That once belonged
~ To their soul
