Burn the Unbeliever


Smash the mirror that dares to show the bleeding mascara
refuse to let the shards slice through your veins between the stares
clench your teeth as gravity pulls the scarlet tide to the muddy ground
pierce the red organ that pulses with the fright of a thousand nights
this is the letdown you are getting away with murder tonight my love
-----
Swallow the secrets with your last dying breath forget how to live
refuse to hide the violence bodies show no signs of movement
it was a cold night when the confrontation occurred then I understood
this is my one true solitude staring at the wall mute secrets spill
this is the letdown you are getting away with murder tonight my love
-----
With all these lies burn the crucifix pretend to choke on your bile
refuse to distance yourself build me back up so my fall kills
whisper to the man behind the curtain purge yourself of atrocities
leave under the sign of the Spirit yet still remain so forsaken
this is the letdown you are getting away with murder tonight my love
