Swollen Eye View - Ligeia

How many times?

How many times should I stab you in the face?

How long will shame instill suffering?

«But it won’t happen again» she says, lying through her teeth

Rotting at the mouth she prays for tragedy, With your hands tied around your

back

You drown in your own blood

You choke on dependence

You were always powerless

Erase your self-worth

This time her blood will spill

This time I won’t stand still

Last call for decadence

She’s already gone

My eyes will bleed from what I’ve seen

Thorns enter through belief and the covering, but your downfall is inevitable

Cry out for help textbook battered wife, but she says she’s sorry,

but it’ll happen again

Spread your legs for revenge

How does it feel?

Does it feel good?

Does it feel like success?

You kiss the knife that slits your wrist

You long for love that doesn’t exist

Thorns enter through belief and the covering, but your downfall is inevitable
