Array ( [sid] => 67152 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Addicted [time] => 2004-10-12 17:21:03 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Sit upon a liar's chair
Only lie to that which I call myself
Upon a ridged stone I curse with you
Upon discomfort and I would do it with no one else

Lying to everything I trusted
I set my will to the flame
Nothing left to turn to
And there is nothing else left to blame

Crimson cut and swallow
Right from the throat down to my feet
Nothing left to depend on
Addiction I still keep with me, haunting with every beat

Combine me with deception
Roll me over and mix me as you please
Disappointment and bleeding
But, happy as I'm on my knees

Images that get caught in sunlight
Ghosts that follow my step
A hint of happy beneath the gray sky
A glance of sorrow, and a secret I never kept

Filter through the pain and anguish
Sorry for something I will never understand
Just breathe and wait for the next time
But, it's only the first time and you know I never can

My liars chair has broken
And the ridged stone will fade to smooth
Crunched up in deception
Torn beneath the sorrow, broken as a tool

Too strong to look away now
I need this more than you can know
I'd throw this stone right through you
And I'd sell my soul just for you to wreap what you sew

Taint me as long as you're happy
Break me off a piece when you're done
Break me out of my liar's chair
I'll smile for the moment when I curse this battle won [comments] => 8 [counter] => 229 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Exodus-On-Life [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
