This Is Not

When something stains your pride

And leaves you back with despite

Your vain attempts to blank it out

Troubled, in a state of doubt

Both inside and outside

Demons stalk your hide

No chance for you to get away

Without their affliction

Everything you ever wanted

They turn into hideous shards...

They are haunting your thoughts now

They are probing your soul

Examine with indifferent eyes

How you are WRITHING in shame

(But) This is not my burden

(But) This is not my cross

For it...

Keeps me away, keeps me away...

Keeps me away, keeps me away...

(But) This is not my burden

- bathe in desire

(But) This is not my cross

Eyelids open and in peace

You are staring ahead

Haunting me...
