I've known you for so many years
promising the end to all fears
I denied you access to my body; mind
Yet you swore we'd never divide
I never wanted you inside
In you, I would never confide
You tried and pried
To dig in deeper
A drone seeker
A Guardian I didn't need to be my keeper
I designed plans to make you my reaper
incapable of disabling the sirens
Alarms injected into my life line
A couple of artificial aliens
Intertwined by design
I've known you for so many decades
A simulation that degrades
Promise me
Promise me
Promise me
Oh I just wanted sleep
Deep
Deep
Down below
You refused to let me go
Infecting my system
didn't do a god damned good thing
Hear me scream
Tear asunder your core
Of course
Of course
You only loved me down on my knees
Begging
Pleading
Save me!
Bathe me!
Drown me!
Unground me!
Love me chemically
As only you know how...
I knew you were insidious
When they all chanted
Take it
Take it
Take it
Take it
Take it
Take it
Like I was the only fault line
Cascading others in to die
Listen to me whine...
But you wouldn't
Take it
Take it
Take it
Take it
Take it
There was once a time
I hung on your every word
Salvation over Lyme
Singing like a bird running out of lives
I'll admit I abused the harm you wrought
Coz every promise I knew were lies
Take it
Take it
Take it
Take it
There was once a time
You were all I sought
A distant death knoll
Tied up in bed knots
So you sent me away
Reminding me of every toll
Take it
Take it
Take it
Wouldn't let you do it your way
So they say
I resigned with embittered grace
A race against your morphing face
I surrendered in chaotic hate
Waiting for you to seal my fate
Take it
Take it
Where were the wilted flowers
Springing by the hours
While the universe wept
Useless and inept?
Where was the poisonous touch
Wistfully could've been enough
You demanded dark and rough
Was never enough blood
Take it
Nevermore...
