Nine

All the things you do to me, all the things I see

Cast the veil endlessly, all that which I be

All the things I do for you, all the things I see

Shroud the days ceaselessly, end this fallen dream

All the things you do to me, all I tried to be

All the hate I've conjured for, infects what I seek

A gleam inside those eyes

A path I can't reside

The wound that I consume

Brings me close to you

A grim sought out past

The weak wish to have

That which I hold close

Continues as the host

All the things I did for you, all I gave to be

Enough to burn the world we know, a naive lovers dream

All the things they ask of you, prove you're one to be

All the things they ask of you, bestow what they need

All the truth you spoke to me, I did not foresee

Engulf the lives that I endure, listen and release

A gleam inside those eyes

A path I can't reside

The wound that I consume

Brings me close to you

A grim sought out past

The weak wish to have

In the hours after twelve

I release what held
