Slide the Key

Slide the keyKey

into the slot

Cruel memories

I forgot

Inside I slowly

gently rot

Slide the key

into the slot.

 

So long a silence

stains my fears

I remember to forget

all my years

Try to cry

no more tears

So long a silence

stains my fears.

 

Shadows follow

where I lead

In your blood

I see the greed

On your flesh

I’ll slowly feed

Shadows follow

where I lead.

 

Will it be

for me to see?

Is it you

who are free?

I was going to try

but then I knew why.

To continue on would be a lie.

Knowing the answer before you start

numbs, kills, defeats the heart.

It wasn’t hard

for me to become

cold and strong.
