Forever, Always.
Shadows Awake
4:24I smell him on you, the stench of decay His scent infects the bed where we used to lay His fingerprints branded deep in your skin Every stolen moment was where my end begins Did he smile when he shattered what I was to you? Did you feel power in the ruin you drew? I see his outline where your body should be A parasite thriving on your treachery You let his hands defile our vows Turned forever to ash in the dark somehow Your betrayal bleeds like venom, slow and true A funeral dirge where love once grew His hands on you, ripping me apart Tearing the vows I carved in my heart You gave him your body, I gave you my trust Now I suffocate beneath your lust His whispers linger, his breath still stays You burned our home for a fleeting blaze Did his touch taste sweeter because it was wrong? Did his voice rewrite the words of our song? His hands on your back, his lips on your throat While I held the silence you left like a note I see his gaze in the secrets you hide The fire you fed where love should reside His laughter stalks every room we made A requiem sung for promises decayed You let his lust dismantle my life His hunger the hammer, your heart was the knife You poisoned the altar with a single sin And left me rotting in the grave you're in! Did he feel like freedom, or was it just a disguise? Did his touch erase the weight of my eyes? You carved out my soul with every move Left me hollow, with nothing to prove His ghost is alive where you should be And I'm left alone with your treachery His hands on you, ripping me apart Tearing the vows I carved in my heart You gave him your body, I gave you my trust Now I suffocate beneath your lust His whispers linger, his breath still stays You burned our home for a fleeting blaze Burn in the fire of the lies you fed Let his shadow haunt every step you tread I'll crawl from the wreckage, but I'll never forgive You slaughtered the love I was dying to live His hands on your skin, his name in your breath And I'm left to rot in the arms of your death
