Array ( [sid] => 23964 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Slave [time] => 2003-09-27 19:05:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => In corridors of darkness, I called your name
Running through the endless mazes
Of trapped dreams and broken promises
But you never came
And I swallowed any poison you would give
No questions asked, I was your slave
But the darkness stays the same
And here I rot in an empty cage

Trapped in a little box of discarded fancies
And branded toys you have forgotten
Another item to dust and mould in its misery
While you smile and seduce another soul into your outstretched arms
I remember well that fatal embrace
That made me yours and cursed forever
One word, one look, and I had fallen
A shattered mirror of the once-proud queen

And still I sit and pine for you
Weeping my glassy tears
Cursing your name and wishing you gone

My blood boils and I ache for the kiss
That you will never again give
To the empty shell of the girl I once was
Shadow of a time long past

In corridors of darkness, I called your name
Running through the endless mazes
Of trapped dreams and broken promises
But you never came
And I swallowed any poison you would give
No questions asked, I was your slave
But the darkness stays the same
And here I rot in an empty cage

In corridors of darkness, I called your name
Running through the endless mazes
Of trapped dreams and broken promises
But you never came
And I swallowed any poison you would give
No questions asked, I was your slave
But the darkness stays the same
And here I rot in an empty cage

Trapped in a little box of discarded fancies
And branded toys you have forgotten
Another item to dust and mould in its misery
While you smile and seduce another soul into your outstretched arms
I remember well that fatal embrace
That made me yours and cursed forever
One word, one look, and I had fallen
A shattered mirror of the once-proud queen

And still I sit and pine for you
Weeping my glassy tears
Cursing your name and wishing you gone

My blood boils and I ache for the kiss

To the empty shell of the girl I once was

In corridors of darkness, I called your name
Running through the endless mazes
Of trapped dreams and broken promises
But you never came
And I swallowed any poison you would give
No questions asked, I was your slave
But the darkness stays the same
And here I rot in an empty cage
