Damn, You're a Disgrace

Sun, 01/05/2014 - 20:44 -- Zodiax

Rising from my bed 
The flies hit my face 
Creeping through my head 
“Damn, you’re a disgrace” 

The walls are painted 
Blood and rust 
My mind is tainted 
“Escape we must” 

We press our love 
Against the door 
With one shove 
Door no more 

Into the hall 
We stepped 
Risking it all 
We crept 

A few drains 
Lined the floor 
Too many brains 
Lined the floor 

Insanity clouds the air 
Polluting our mind 
Life isn’t fair 
So leave it behind 

Opposite of me 
Stands a figure black 
It’s all we can see 
Leading the pack 

The walls are sick 
With bile and blood 
The beatings are thick 
Dark will soon flood 

We begin to walk 
To ease our thought 
Their eyes they stalk 
Fear is caught 

Every face 
Is exactly the same 
Keeping our pace 
We asked for the shame 

The prisoners reach 
For our skin 
Their lack of speech 
Spelling sin 

Now we know 
Who they are 
Their nails grow 
And thirst to scar 

We saw our mother 
After our lost love 
Replaced by no other 
Than the ones above 

Looking forward again 
The figure is gone 
Wondering where and when 
The figure has gone 

We turned around 
And noticed suddenly 
The doors were downed 
The prisoners were free 

They snatched our wrist 
We left the floor 
They made us twist 
Until we tore 

Our blood came soiled 
And oozed slow 
Love was spoiled 
Before it could grow 

The pool on the tile 
Reflects our face 
Their sadistic smile 
Their Amber eyed face 
Taught a lot 
Before we thought 
“Damn, you’re a disgrace”
