You are so beautiful
I want to scar your vanity with pride
I feed you this needle
So I can watch you recoil in fear

I will molest your divinity
And I'll sanctify your pain
These screams that I hear…
Are they yours or are they mine?

Did I hurt you? (Why are you crying?)
Did I hurt you? (I saw you crying…)
Did I hurt you? (You fucking bitch!)
Did I hurt you? (Because…)

These words you speak are not your own
Mine…I gave them to you
Your tongue is victim cyanide
Writing your own suicide

This bed of roses will be your grave
I'll make sure the pyre is lit
Smile once before you drift away
Dear god, you were so beautiful!

Did I hurt you? (Why are you crying?)
Did I hurt you? (I saw you crying…)
Did I hurt you? (You fucking bitch!)
Did I hurt you? (Because…)

I am the dark -
That which needs no illumination;
The one who hurts you
More than life itself
But you insist on loving.
I am nameless,
Shameless,
Omnipotent and ignorant,
Yet you love me blissfully,
Blindly.
No psuedonym,
But if you seek for something
To call out in the night
Call me 'plague'
Call me 'jesus'
I am god in your suffering
I am disease in your reckoning
I am your heroin
Odium

You trust no one else
Because they will only hurt you

But I hurt you tenfold
And you trust me with your life!

Put your love in no one else…
Put your love in no one else…
Put your love in no one else…
