Page 77 of Devil in the Dark
She came to me like a wraith in the night
My demons burst to life
Moonlit skin and eyes so blue
Every vow I make to you
Burns away the monsters we knew
Sinking deep into these murky waters
Poison promises of the past
Like talons tearing the flesh from my back
I’ll shield you from it all
Gasping and drowning
This toxic brew pouring into my lungs
No matter, baby, I’ll just breathe you
Lightning flashes across my dreams
A lash in flesh
My rage so fresh, I’ll avenge you
Salty tears on the tip of my tongue
I’ll breathe the rainstorm of you
Deep into my lungs
Sinking deep into these murky waters
Poison promises of the past
Like talons tearing the flesh from my back
I’ll shield you from it all
Gasping and drowning
This toxic brew pouring into my lungs
No matter, baby, I’ll just breathe you
Sinking deep into the warmth of you
I come home to the soul mine knew
Twisted thorns of a past so torn
We’ll beat the storm, baby
We’ll make our own
