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
