Endogenisis

There is only one way out

One word left to shout

The last little slope to climb

Then my feet slip again

Your threatening voice

Gets me back up on my feet again

I will find the truth within your skin

You keep feeding me distractions

Feeding me lies

But I know the truth is there

In fragments

in bits

and pieces

Tall and slender

But your eyes are lustreless

Your facade may glimmer

Your surface may be smooth silk

You've been convinced of your own illusions

But your weary eyes unveil a sinner

Running...

Steadily you hunt me down

Until my feet collapse

Gasping...

You never rest

Struggling to breathe

You try to sink me in the mud

My dearest enslaved

Shackled

Locked up in my cage

My dearest enslaved

Fragile beauty depraved
