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
