Six Sides

She once told me the box is where it lives

Within those six sides, the enemy hides

The power escapes under its cold breath

And it's my responsibility to watch it die.

These years provide the stepping stone

And it grows stronger before my eyes

I chose to keep it alive

I will choose when it dies

No prayer, no hope, no wicked way

A violent path of a fantastic mistake

Dark corners where seclusion resides

A funeral to escape her fearful gaze

These years provide the stepping stone

And it grows stronger before my eyes

I chose to keep it alive

I will choose when it dies

A sickening sound of clawing, trying to escape

Sealed tight, no air, and no light

It needs nothing more then hate to exist

I inherit this curse

Like the scientist before the dawn

A poison I create with stunning envy

Asphyxiate the war that lives inside

Remove the life and silence the cries

Don't you dare attempt to understand

You couldn't pretend, not then or now

I've fathered this prison for too many years

Kept alive to one day crush all dreams

Within six sides, the enemy hides

The power escapes under its cold breath

It's my responsibility to watch it die

I once told her the box is where it died
