Poisoned Grace

The tiles are stained with this crimson river
And down my spine, I feel you slither
All I can do is moan and shiver
What does it take to bring you, hither?

Ecstacy's nothing compared to you
Whisper to me what you need me to do
My heart is desperate for someone true
Even after what you've put me through

I drop the blade, a silver knife
Shimmers and glitters, reflects my strife
And suddenly I feel more than your Wife
I'm willingly giving up my life

All strapped and bondaged, you're quite a sight
I really don't want to sleep tonight
But now's the time to kill the light
Now's the time to say goodnight

I'm sorry my love, but it's time to go
I never thought I'd stoop this low
My heart strings, I never began to sew
After you tore them apart, death started to show

An interest in me - This you never had
I regret to admit that it made me mad
But now you'll pay the price, dear lad
It's time to silence this growing 'bad'

Consciousness escaping, falling down
Your wicked grin is now a frown
I laugh out loud, I'm about to drown
In my own self-pity, a deafening sound

You're begging me to stay, don't leave!
But isn't that what you couldn't do for me?
I'm sorry, dear love, but it's time that you see
Just how sick and twisted you can make me be

I'm crying with pain, crimson red, so intense
And I'm falling and falling, and I've fallen ... Past tense
You're on your own now, all tied up, to that tree
Oh why did you have to wish that you could kill me?

Well I've done the job for you.
All is black, silent sound.
You're probably looking down on me.
As I look up, from the ground.
