Lies need to be fed

I saw that you swallowed it in
the lies I fed into your skin
the softest voices in midnight air
secrets never laid to bear

Touch inside the lights embrace
whisper close so you can taste
feeding the devil is the sin
blame me for letting it in

Let it sink beneath your surface
let it stew until it grabs purchase
in your gut it will await
growing painful won't abate

You see me standing at the door,
My bag in my hand,
A smoke in my mouth,
A bottle empty on the ground,

You think you know what is bound to be
you swear you would never do the deed
but here I am, bound to stay but destined to leave
your hands get tighter you know it's now or never

You hear my voice float across the room
taunting you with the rhymes you never understood
Looking at you through vacant eyes
Lost in the moment I thought to feed the lie

Ashes ashes, all around
this bird has flown
finally air bound
ashes ashes ashes abound

And so you think my end is near
And I withdraw my breath and leer
watch unseeing with eyes already dead
my body waiting to be led.........
