Dual Mentality


The depravity sinks into her skin,
Hope dissolving into trepidation
Abandoned, the consequence of her sin

Hope dissolving into trepidation,
Remnants of love, macabre dance 'round her head
Detachment, apathy her sedation

Remnants of love, macabre dance 'round her head,
Blinding herself with thoughts of exuberance
Unhinged, on manic passion she retreads

Blinding herself with thoughts of exuberance,
Splitting as infatuation turns gray
Overwhelmed, giving way to a nuisance

Splitting as infatuation turns gray,
Whispers break the shell with the force of screams
Petulant, relations in disarray

Whilst thoughts of tenderness drown her in bliss
'Morrow she will sing songs of emptiness
The depravity sinks into her skin
Abandoned, the consequence of her sin
