Dark Promises

Eyes dark and lifeless, suck all colour from your soul Drawing you in like a spider down a hole All thoughts have turned to blind, raw fear You're powerless, paralysed, white noise fills your ears Can't talk, can't scream, can't run, can't breathe Butterflies drop like sycamore seeds Flowers wilt, leaves brown and shrivel I continue to consume you with a minimum of struggle Roll out the red carpet, gold rings n diamonds Bring forth your children, your morals, your hymens What use have you now for all of these things When immeasurable power for the hungry I bring Can't not, can't stop, can't help, can't leave Another life passes with no-one to grieve Eyes fade as skin decays The face is forgotten in a matter of days Too scared now to walk out your door after dark I'm a hood wearing kid with a knife in the park I'm black, I'm brown, I'm yellow, I'm green I'm a plane crashing terrorist Mass murdering Phycologist I'm a kiddy fiddling priest I'm a liar I'm a cheat I promised you everything in glossy magazines I promised you wonder bra silicone dreams Like spend your way out of debt Dolphins won't get caught in this net It's just a hot decade, the climates not changing Follow the soap star who's been misbehaving Texting in daily to register your vote Do you really give a #@&% who gets kicked off the show You sacrificed life willingly for trinkets and beads One ray of sunshine for a garden full of weeds You love me, you worship me Believe everything I say Find the golden needle in the big stack of hay I'm a virus I'm a fake I'm a radio active lake I'm a magic bean I'm a fiend
