Mystifying Grief

I 've always loved misery

Made me interesting

In the eyes of the world

Or so I believed

Tantalizing, paralyzing, mystifying grief

The hold you had on me

Like a claw around my heart

Rendering me cold, old and exhausted

You made me hurt myself

As much as I deserved

You fed on my anger

Distrust and endless lust

You fed on my anger

My misery was kept alive

for your own pleasure

Tantalizing, paralyzing, mystifying grief

The hold you had on me

With some help from another realm

Your grasp around my heart

Was torn away

You are left alone no one to control

Tantalizing, paralyzing, mystifying grief

The hold you had on me

I lose my grief

To be born again

In the eyes of the world

Tantalizing, paralyzing, mystifying grief

Tormentor of old

The hold you had on me is gone

Your reign has come to an end

Your reign has come to an end
