A Shade of Plague

Red eyes from tears and all the sleepless nights.
Touched skin can never be washed clean again.
You are burned by the fire of his flame.
Trapped in the filth and all the fucking shame.

Pushed down by disgust and desire.
Numbing the wounds with other wounds.
Here I am, you cannot see me.
But look me in the eyes when you cry.
I don't mind if you hide yourself, I will find.
Don't you make me angry this time.
You will never disappoint me again.
Bite the pillow and make no sound.

So Julia, darkness falls again.
You leave the light on by the window.
Praying to the moon and the stars
That tonight you'll be left alone.

Forced into darkness by the fear of failing.
Held down into loneliness.
So beautiful but filled up with the tears and pain.
In constant hiding from his hungry eyes.
What is the price of lust, love and lies.
No one will find you hiding in your shadow land.

Wipe away all the tears from your eyes, can't you see.
Pull the sheets above your heads, try to fall asleep.
But scared to wake up by the sound of not being.
But scared to wake up by the sound
Of not being on your own, all alone.

Forced into darkness by the fear of failing.
Held down into loneliness.
So beautiful but filled up with the tears and pain.
In constant hiding from his hungry eyes.
What is the price of lust, love and lies.
No one will find you hiding in your shadow land.
