Old Wounds
the pounding walls of fear
beating, pulsing in my head
rising and descending
like ritual panic
my entire being becomes
engulfed, encircled
in a never ending maze
of sound and sight
lungs enhale the vacuum
the nothingness of the unknown
inhaling the fear that forever flows
pulsing, beating, rushing from my heart
no escape, petrified, paralized
pulses of blood beat harder within
the black outer skin of a grotesque charade
masquerade in airless cell
the prison of the mind, a blackened shell
We recommend: Silver Rain
Washed out in the stillness of the night
She's left searching
Once again love's promise has been broken
And he ignores indifferently to the rhythm of her breathing
As she lights a cigarette and waits for morning
Light years apart - they lie both together
Like a child caught playing with matches
She's been burned again by fire
And she knows she's been betrayed by her own imagination
The cigarette keeps burning as she curses her desire.
Chorus:
And she thinks
She's the only one who's lonely
And she wants the world to feel sorry
And she's trapped
She's left searching
Once again love's promise has been broken
And he ignores indifferently to the rhythm of her breathing
As she lights a cigarette and waits for morning
Light years apart - they lie both together
Like a child caught playing with matches
She's been burned again by fire
And she knows she's been betrayed by her own imagination
The cigarette keeps burning as she curses her desire.
Chorus:
And she thinks
She's the only one who's lonely
And she wants the world to feel sorry
And she's trapped
