I yearn for an auditory heroin, the solace hidden behind your voice
Tortured by this addiction, in my soul, this venom anoints
Your words are the seductive songs of a siren
Enchanting, spellbound with abysmal desire
Speaking with destructive beauty, potent and pure
My ears alert, anticipating those three enthralling words
Can't you peer behind my smile into a sea of truth
Into the eyes that forever hold the fear of losing you
Into a spirit bound by such terrible attraction.....

A poison flows through my veins, hunting the blood as it flees
Into the dark chasm of my heart, sanctuaried haven it seeks
But what keeps me alive unknowingly leads the ailment into my very soul
As it blooms and grows, my Doom, I do behold
Corruptor of the blackness I've held onto for two eternities
Rupture Hellish madness to replace it with another.....

Reflecting upon a ghost, upon self-taught strength
All I once was, nothing compared to what you've made
I lie alone with a crippling loneliness, my arms hollow without your embrace
Emptiness devours every inch of my body
Without the protection of your smiling face
Your touch, an organic firestorm in a world of hypothermia
From it, I'm quarantined in a masochistic Winter Wonderland
Satan's triumphant fists clutch my heart until it's charred dark grey
Just in time for the holidays......

If a Goliath, you are the single stone that eclipsed my Inferno of Pride
But bloomed symbiosis, this crophyte
Surviving by hiding from past blackness into the light you've shone
But can't escape, I face the cruel sharpened caress of December alone
My lips still beckon your embrace with a starvation beyond lust
A hunger transcending all dimensions of God's creation
I taste Hell when I taste anything but you.....

You've shed what held you back, it seems I was the greatest weight
You've become a part of me I've thought of cutting away
To break this chain and watch the pain it brings fade
To watch my dependence upon you bleed away
Though some of what you say may hurt me, wrath never treads my mind
To fulfill a secret promise, you're what vengeance could never find
For it knows not the way to my heart....
