• Acid blood through arctic runnel veins
    Through her skin, Down her arms
    Onto the ground it stains
    Acid tears through cloud glass eyes
    Under the facade, within the scars
    Corroding her soul every time she cries
    Acid thoughts through rotten bone
    Rattling like chains and snakes
    Bouncing off a brain of stone
    Acid words through twisted tongues
    The Devil's speech reaches everyone
    As gossip spreads his work is done
    And whispering in cowards' ears
    Speaking what they want to hear
    They say she boiled her own blood
    Then froze it in her veins
    Cried herself blind to everything but pain
    Bottled all her demons 'til they burst from her breast
    'Til they burst from her skull as her eyes did go dull
    But like echoes in the silence broken
    There came a voice that lightly pulled
    The raging storm of erosion lies
    Out of her mind into the skies
    She began to cry in dismay
    Knowing her pain could be slipping away
    Instead she lay burning inside and out
    Dying and crying with words spilling out
    He touched her cracked lips to hush her
    And said:
    "Keys and rings, hopes and dreams
    My darling you lust for needful things
    Your souvenirs and ticket stubs
    From theaters and go-to clubs
    Have gotten you it's entire worth
    Look at yourself
    This self-inflicted mental curse
    You needn't do this, you have help
    Communicate with me, my love
    The demons always you talk of
    Show me what power they have over you
    And we will defeat them with the passing of the moon"
    Soothing balm to blistered wounds
    Sweet lullabies and carefree swoons
    Imprisoned screams soon subside
    The darkness in her mind divides
    And with the passing of the dreary night
    So does her demons pass in their plight
    And there she can lay on solemnity's bed
    Under the covers she quells her poor head
