Baptized

Baptized

Dance around the ocean wind of a lover's dream

think away a million thoughts and die away your screams

Do you need me?  Or are you just here because you have nowhere else to go?

I'm not waiting around for you to know.

Dance and lift your legs up high as bullets mock your feet

crawl across a field of glass to prove you are not weak

Do you love me?  Or is it that there's no one else?

I'll do away with your perfect health.

Wrap yourself in jagged metal paper as the world rushes your mind

roll and bleed in broken staples as the water washes away your kind

Do you want me?  Or is it that I'm making you weak?

Tell me now, I'll let you speak.

"Brainwashed... bloody bruises.. Hate.. Denial.. Love and fear..."

whisper more truths in my ear

"I need you, I love you, I want you"

But is a word that you speak true?

Damned to hell for eternity!

Why is it that you won't save me?

Down, along a tunnel, looking for a light

all you see is mud in a rat-infested night

I'm sorry to disappoint you as you search for a way out

didn't you know this is a sewer, not a heavenly route?

You turn back, but water threatens you

the smell of waste burns at your nose

you open your mouth to let it rush in

and see your so-called light in an overdose

An overdose of shit.

Was this supposed to be cleansing, taking a bath in piss?
