the weak and the wounded

Silverstein

The end begins.
I can?t escape as it pulls me further into anesthesia.
Tear down my sense of conviction.
Corrupt my soul.
The end begins.

In my eyes. In my heart.
I have laid upon a deadman?s bed,
only to fall into a trap of lies and seduction
that rivals the greatest sense of love.

Play it back until the voice becomes just a sound.
Penetrate your mind with all these images of you.

I have given up an angel?s kiss.
Only to break apart your path of trust and burn myself down.
Struggle to the end; I scare myself.

Play it back until the voice becomes just a sound.
Penetrate your mind with all these images of you.

I?d give it all to have it back.
I could have had it all in front of you all by myself.
Love in my eyes, lust in my heart. I made it all up.
Lies, deceit empowers me, so it ends. (ends)
