Heart of Darkness (She's Your)

She's stuck in your heart; darkening your dreams
She's the razor tearing you apart at the seems
She's the gravity when your sky is falling
She's the ridiculous fantasy your mind is drawing

A nightmare's sky that's flayed asunder
Still your heart beats like crying thunder
Pounding through your temples like a madman's drum
Drowning your words under a drunken sea of rum

She's the sepia when your world starts to rust
She can show you fear in a handful of dust
She's the sun, the night and she's the dusk
She rips your essence from your empty husk

The eyes that can't be blind become shadowed and jaded
Colors filtered through and the innocence has faded
This macabre masquerade folds to a brief halt
Sometimes you're honest to a fault

She's the huntress of the night
She's tearing you off the rind
She picks the meat clean from the bones
She laughs when you're left alone

There is little left in which to believe
Forgiveness for the past is so far reprieved
Pray to your clouds or call upon a cross
You have never experienced loss

She's a down-home girl from the big city
She thinks your love is such a pity
She dances at midnight with the wicked piper
She laughs because she's the one you cry for

Smoke that bottle and drink your ashes
Everything amongst your halo crashes
Phosphorescent lights shoot from the iris
The gone from the bounty of the pious

She is here but she is there
She is gone but she is everywhere
You may love her and it's sad but true
She will never be with you
