through the dark forest
trip over jagged rocks
bloody knees
bloody hands
drink from the filthy water
...it pulls you in
drowning
drowning

why didn't you save her?
she's screaming
screaming
screaming your name
and you left her there to die

because you are infatuated
with death, my love
and I know the reaper sings
a sweet song but it's one that only plays in your darkest of nightmares
his cold hug is not one of love
but of blazing lust
and didn't your mother every tell you not to play with fire
for you will get burned
and where will you turn
but the river
you watched yourself drown in
