Blood Wine

[Part I: Elegy]

We live as we dream

So alone

So alone

Taking rich sips from a glass of blood wine

From within the veins of a heart of darkness

I am confined

I fell from grace just to miss the arms waiting to catch me

I slipped through time and egressed into a forlorn ethos

The lotus I dream is now drenched in rain

No longer of its opulent purple stain

No longer of its opulent purple stain

(Wake up)

Wake up

Wake up

Is this but a dream?

Liquidated melancholy flowing inside of me

Pinching at my skin, but still loyal to the nightmare that I’m stuck in

Writing scriptures of hatred about the ones I love

How is this the person that I’ve become?

(What have I become?)

I learned to mourn when I learned to love

A fragile gift on the wings of a dove

The sun is cold forevermore (forevermore)

I learned to mourn when I learned to love

A fragile gift on the wings of a dove

The sun is cold forevermore

Forevermore

It is foolish to resist the kiss of death

[Part II: Diatribe]

You swore

You swore

I was comfortably numb

Break my heart for I held my tongue

I trudged through crimson isles

In constant envy of your bleeding smiles

And I'll never forgive myself for those futile desires

I was dying of thirst, and you fed me salt

Now the flowers you returned, once vibrant, now rot

You’re just a fucking snake

Spitting words of venom

Infecting those you love

Enraging those who hate you

You’re toxic and alone

You sit upon a serpents throne

But it’s my greatest shame

I’m exactly the same

A willful player in this devils game

I learned to mourn when I learned to love

A fragile gift on the wings of a dove

The sun is cold forevermore (forevermore)

We fell apart when we fell in love

Two fragile souls dipped in a glass of blood

The sun is cold forevermore

Forevermore
