Tears trickle and stick to my red skin
Like drops of glue on paper mâché
I've decided that I can never win
Because it hurts to even play
A fish out of water
A struck-down son
A dead daughter
A drowned sun
The space is growing ever smaller
"Come, my friend, let down your hair"
Whilst the tower of terrors grows ever taller
"That I may climb without a stair"
But you are no longer there
Everything I touch turns to dust
Every gem I find just turns to rust
Every day is just another demon
Getting his kicks out of my dreaming
You wrote me a letter on my body
Words of affirmation sinking into my skin,
Skin I'd hoped wasn't paper thin
Sealed with a kiss
Then you torched it, tore it to shreds
Said you'll always love me till tomorrow when I'm dead
By your hands
My own, behind my back in bands
So you could burn me at the stake
I'm nothing more than your mistake
