Violet

Fatally flawed
By your own father
Seeking his warmth
Through every john
Finding rebirth
Here where you always are
Waiting to die alone
Fighting your one defense
Singing a siren’s song
To the world
Memories of
Innocence stolen
Crawl in your blood
Breaking you down
Blaming yourself
Wondering what went wrong
Waiting to die alone
Fighting your one defense
Singing a siren’s song
Taking your own revenge
Waking denials up
To the ways of your world
This world is no substitute for the one
Your soul spirals down toward
But no one can solve the pain that you’ve known
Purging your sins
In the red water
Feeling your wrists
Opening up
Finally now
Maybe you’re going home
Waiting to die alone
Fighting your one defense
Singing a siren’s song
Taking your own revenge
Saying goodbye to it all
Sighing your dying breath
Waking denials up
To the ways of your world
