Little one
With your silken flesh
Open your eyes
You’re no better than the rest
You dance with the devil
Under the dim lights
With a hundred voices telling you,
“It’s time to end your life.”
Little one
You can’t bury the pain
As much as you beg for solace
There’s no hope for you today
Unlock the chambers in your heart
And you’ll see shattered dreams
Frantically trying to run forever but
Nothing is ever as it seems
Little one
With your lacerated flesh
The self-inflicted scars you bear
They can’t save you this time
Stop believing in something that isn’t there
Your chest caves in silently
Your tired eyes are heavy like stones
The darkness consuming your soul
Always reminding you that you’re alone
Little one
This is your fate
Time’s up and you can’t escape this hell
So dance with the devil furthermore
As you’re swallowed up in your empty shell
Disappear into the void
This abyss becomes your only friend
There’s no way out anymore
Your name has been written
Little one
With your bleeding flesh
Another consequence you must serve
Abandonment has taken your voice
Tell me, little one…
will you ever learn?
We will all watch me burn.
